Dear friends and donors,
The global health emergency created by Covid-19 brings unrest and challenges to millions of people across the world. Even though the situation is pressing, we, at the Omar Dengo Foundation kept working towards achieving our funding goal, promoting our project through our social media, and participating in different fundraising activities led by GlobalGiving. We are very happy to know that, with your help, the project has already reached the necessary funding to execute a new training workshop. At the same time, we continue to foster our project through other funding opportunities with partners that are interested and willing to support this project.
At the Omar Dengo Foundation, the public health emergency represented a challenge, but we continue to work towards the adaptation of our training proposals and projects to virtual and at-distance learning modalities. This is allowing us to respond to the current health situation here in Costa Rica.
Unfortunately, as this specific project focuses on hands-on robotics training for deaf or hard-of-hearing and women with disabilities, our technical team considers that it would be hard for us to adapt this training into a virtual modality. We want to make sure that the young women who participates on this training receive a quality experience and an overall training that can influence their lives. For now, we will be patient enough to wait until we can execute the face-to-face training on a safe environment for everybody.
We appreciate all of the support you have given to these women, and please share and talk about our amazing project with family and friends.
