Hello Guatemala Outreach Supporters!
And another group of students has had a successful visit to Guatemala!! A group of five Au.D. students, one alumnus, and Dr. Clark-Lewis traveled to Guatemala on April 30, 2011 to provide hearing care to children attending three inner city schools in Guatemala City. The group posted daily narratives on the NING site, so be sure to read them. Pictures from this trip have been uploaded to the site. Please take some time to look at those as well. THANK YOU to all of our wonderful supporters…See More

Day 5 Los Cedros--Los Petitos
Hola everyone, As Friday morning began, we were all hit with the harsh reality that today was our last day in this beautiful country with these amazing people. At breakfast we reflected on the week and talked about our favorite parts. Whether it was testing a deaf student, working with a rambunctious child like Kevin, or removing loads of earwax, we all couldn’t help but smile thinking about the amazing experience we have had this week. As the day began, we saw the daunting task of what was…See More

Wow! Sounds like y'all are having a wonderful time! Little girl had a sticker in her ear?!?!?! Who saw it first??
Day 2: Los Cedros
I think it is safe to say we woke up this morning feeling a little bit frazzled after our chaotic first day at Los Cedros. Although we were extremely happy to finally meet the kids we had been learning about during the months leading up to our trip, we were faced with unexpected technological difficulties (computer problems, of course) and learning to test in a very different environment with the added challenges of a language barrier. Luckily, the computer problems were solved that night and…See More

University Grant from College of Liberal Arts
Dr. Sandra Clark-Lewis, clinical professor of Audiology in the department of Communication Disorders (link), was awarded $14,749 from the Office of Outreach for her project, “Auburn Audiology Outreach in Guatemala,” which will provide hearing and middle ear screening to impoverished children attending three inner city schools in Guatemala City. Her project also received $3,800 matching funds from CLA. Department of Communication Disorders alumna, Dr. Martha Miller also acquired for this project a donation of 40 digital hearing aids which will be given to the Guatemalan children identified with educationally significant hearing loss. Dr. Clark-Lewis will travel to Guatemala with six of the Audiology doctoral students to provide services to these 500 children.

Day 4- Los Cedros
Hola everyone!
Good news! Today, Jazmin's sticker was successfully removed by the doctor. After the sticker was removed we were able to program her hearing aids and send her off with more gain and less stickers. We also saw Oscar, a child from the school for the deaf. He was another interesting case because his ears had to be irrigated to remove the sand and gravel in his ear canal from swimming in the river. After Andy…
