I'm running to have Sonya heard! Olexander Sokolenko

Olexander Sokolenko is the chief dispatcher-inspector of the enterprise UkSATSE and an amateur sportsman."For me, running is principally a thirst to defeat myself yesterday. This time I'm running, so that with my help one more little man will climb to a new peak and get new opportunities. I want the ten-year-old Sonia to be able to hear and learn to speak, so that the earphones expand her world, just as running expanded my.

Sonia Diryavka is a third-grader and studies in a specialized school for hard of hearing children. She was 3 years old when her parents discovered that the child's hearing was reduced. They bought earphones, and she went with them to a kindergarten and a special school. But apparently, the devices did not fully compensate for the possibility of hearing, because a few years later the second degree of hearing loss turned into a third. And now the girl needs new powerful devices (dobro.ua/eng/project/3886/).

Sonya draws and dances well, she works in a choreographic studio at the school. But she says very poorly: to speak well, one needs to hear clearly. With her classmates, Sonya talks through a gesture, and maybe she does not notice her problem, but the wall between her and the rest of the world grows. Without good earphones, Sony does not have a chance to master speech.

Specialists selected for Sonya suitable devices - in them she distinguishes words spoken in a whisper, at a distance of 3 meters (while not seeing the speaker's face). But earphones and supplies cost UAH 52 000 - Sonya's parents do not have much money. UAH 6 700 is already collected by people who are not indifferent. I believe that together we can collect the rest!

Technologies are developing at such a speed that only money is a limitation of human capabilities. I run so that for one child this barrier will be removed. I set a goal to collect a part of the necessary amount of devices and supplies. Support and join!".
