Tuesday, 11 September 2012 12:51
17 th of September until 22nd of September 2012
Quota International of Aruba continues with the celebration of its 25 Anniversary, and in addition to yearly seminar that will take place next Saturday 15th of September, this campaign of hearing awareness for our community, which is Quota’s known “Shattered Silence Week” is being held in the week of 17 th of September until 22nd of September 2012 .
Shatter Silence Week reflects on the big dark silence in which a person falls when they lose their hearing. With the loss of their hearing they lose total communication with the outside world. Your hearing is what determines your senses and a good communication with others. One of the main goals of Quota International of Aruba, is to bring awareness to our community and to emphasize the importance of taking care and protecting of your hearing.
This year, FEPO (Foundation for the Ones with Hearing Problems) and the S.V.B. San Nicolaas will cooperate with Quota International of Aruba to conduct the hearing tests in the week of “Shattered Silence Week”. During this week the community has the chance to test their hearing free of charge.
As a role model this year Quota International Aruba will honor The Youth Parliament of Aruba which is joining into the action of bringing the awareness to our community and focus on the importance of having the hearing tested. The Youth Parliament was chosen this year because the focus will be on our youth!
The slogan this year is; Young People, it’s your hearing, Take good care of it!
Quota International of Aruba is very satisfied that the project is getting popularity in our community and the members are happy to see that the work that Quota International of Aruba has been displaying for several years is bearing its fruits.
During the week of Shattered Silence Quota International of Aruba will:
Give the opportunity to the community of Aruba to do the hearing test completely free.
