Last Friday, an inclusive talent show took place in Sankt Sebastian, organized by the lovely @lauraxhfm 💛 The event was initiated by Laura herself, who brought this project to life as her final thesis for her training as a special needs caregiver. Most of the participants were employees with disabilities from the @rheinmoselwerkstatt in Koblenz, who were given a stage through this show to present their talents to a wide audience! The program was as diverse as the participants themselves: From a fun air guitar performance and dance routines by a majorette group, to songs by the local choir, a concert by a wind orchestra and an entertaining ventriloquist comedy show – every act powerfully demonstrated the incredible abilities of the people involved 💃🏼🎶 Thank you, Laura, for donating the donations of the evening of €700 to our organization! We are deeply touched that people continue to reach out to support our work and our mission. Because only together can we bring about lasting and positive change! 💛 #mission #positivity #inclusive #talentshow #disability #tolerance #positivity #positivechange #sustainability #ngo #charity #dogood #helping #donations

Providing eye tests and glasses in Milagros means more than clearer sight, it’s a step toward long-term health, better learning conditions, and equal opportunities 🤝 The impact of untreated vision problems is often underestimated. As the @who points out, over a billion people live with preventable or treatable vision impairments, many of them children. Early support can make all the difference! In Milagros, this became especially clear in a conversation with Lorena, a speech therapist, who sees a direct link between poor vision and concentration difficulties in the classroom. We’re very grateful to have funded the eyes examinations and glasses provided by @saludalaescuela!❤️ #colombia #visionhealth #salud #escuela #charity #ngo #who #education #children #health #support #glasses #dogood

Improving Visual Health in Rural Communities 🇨🇴 In Milagros, Colombia, every kid had their eyes professionally examined for the first time 👓 What may seem like a small gesture, a pair of glasses, can change how they learn, how they participate in class, and how they quite literally see the world 🌎 Together with @saludalaescuela, we’re working to make basic visual care accessible, starting with eye examinations, workshops, and the provision of glasses. Good vision is not a luxury. It’s a foundation for education, development, and equal opportunity! 💪🧡 #salud #health #visualhealth #missionpositivity #positivity #ngo #charity #dogood #equality #colombia #escuela #school
