Hello All,
As some of you may know, a few students and a faculty member of the George S. Osborne College of Audiology here at Salus will be leaving in a few days- linking up with the HEARt of the Village organization to provide free basic hearing health care services through a philanthropy mission in Kenya. These services will be provided to children living in group homes, whose families were effected by HIV.
Although the children have limited resources, they were at some point given a computer, an old projector, and a few DVDs. They have been using those resources to have huge movie nights, using the computer to play the movies and projecting it onto a wall. Although it doesn't seem like much to us I'm certain it's the highlight of their week. There are also children that are constantly medically monitored who have received donations of portable DVD players, to enjoy movies because they can not join the others in the corporate movie nights. As an additional gift to all of the children, the Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) will be collecting and donating child friendly DVDs until Friday February 19, 2010 in the area near the cafe. We are asking: if you have any child friendly DVDs, please join us in giving to these children by placing it in the box entitled SAA DVD Drive near the cafe.

Thank you in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
