Support our Centre for Disable Children in Mexico

Dear Supporter, 

We're delighted to bring you news of how your amazingly generous donations have been spent over the past month. 

At the Equine Therapy Centre and Sepcial Needs School, donations have contributed towards much needed therapies, resources and centre maintainance:

• The donation helped to pay a training course on horse handling for the 3 teachers at the Special Needs School. Twice a week they provide horse therapy to the children. 
• A wheel chair was bought to help moving some of the children in the Special Needs School, specially for the children with cerebral palsy. The chair is a great help for the teachers.
• In order to continue with the integral development of these children, a garden was installed in their school so they could learn to grow plants and to look after them.This will benefit their development and will be able to provide new skills to them.
• Most of the children at the Special Needs School come from families with low income; part of the donation money was used to buy then new uniforms for the new school year. 

At the Save the Children Toy Library (Ludoteca), funds raised were used to supply drinking water to the children that attend the ludoteca, Playa del Carmen is a very humid place and it is important they keep hydrated.  We also bought some cleaning products to continue having a safe and clean environment for the children that attend the ludoteca. And some furniture to safely storage the different toys and other teaching resources they have, the previous one were very wobbly and they were not safe for the children.

One of the children at the ludoteca has a hearing problem along with a speaking problem. With the money, a hearing device was bought for him to improve his life quality and to facilitate communication. He is currently also learning some hand signal communication. 

Thank you for continuing to support this project into 2015.

All the best

GVI Mexico
