Ears for Years, Inc. is spreading the JOY of hearing over the Holidays, we are heading to The Lakeside School for the Deaf & Children with Special Needs in Jalisco, MX. With a $100.00 donation, a child will receive a new hearing aid, solar charger and batteries. Hearing aids are personally delivered and fitted to each child. Contact: earsforyears.org@gmail.com with questions and/or donations. The purpose of The Lakeside School for the Deaf & Children with Special Needs is to provide professional education of deaf children, to teach them sign language, how to read, do sculpture, carpentry and arts. The organization provides all types of hearing devices and everything related to the enhancement of their hearing defect. Some of the students are hearing impaired, and others suffer from Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, quadriplegia, paraplegia, autism and visual impairment. The school presently serves over 100 children. http://www.lakesideschoolforthedeaf.org/index.html For anyone unfamiliar with hearing aids, know that they require a great deal of two things: money and batteries. Luckily, one humanitarian project aims to make the medical devices much cheaper and more eco-friendly. Solar Ear, a Brazil-based company, created a low-cost hearing aid that gets their juice from solar-powered batteries. Not only are the devices much more affordable than traditional hearing aids, they decreases reliance on fossil fuel-based power and seriously cut back on battery waste. Ears for Years, is in the process of making decisions on distribution sites. Please contact earsforyears.org@gmail.com for more information.
