Perceptions for Kids

The aim of “Perceptions for Kids” is to support kids from our neighborhood that are handicapped in their perceptions. No matter which sense is handicapped together with our partners we will find a solution. Thereby we not only focus on severe disabilities because therefore mostly our social welfare system is well suited. “Perceptions for Kids” also supports poor families when the glasses of kids are broken or a hearing aid is lost again and the health insurance doesn’t take the costs. One of these examples is a family from our direct neighborhood:

This single mom has three kids. The youngest child is severely limited in his ability to see (more than 10 diopters). While playing it happens that spectacles fell down and break. This now happened again and the little boy needs new glasses.

The mom herself has a strong impairment of her spine what caused chronic pain and resulted in several surgeries. As a consequence the family had to move to a handicapped accessible flat. The movement to the new flat has depleted all savings and now, shortly before Christmas, the glasses of her son are broken again.

Why is the project focused on kids?

As a company that strongly invests in development Perception Park relies on well-educated and creative staff. Studies show that kids from poor families often lose motivation for education at a very early stage especially if they have a little handicap. They often cannot participate in activities with their peers. This is where “Perceptions for Kids” starts to support because Perception Park strongly believes that every child has loads of potential and creativity and therefore deserves a chance for education.

Why did we decide to start Perceptions for Kids?

In autumn 2014 we were thinking about Christmas presents for our customers and partners. This was very hard for us because we belive that people are only delighted with personal gifts instead of cheap wine or sweets. Furthermore many of our customers and partners are not allowed to take any gifts because of compliance reasons. Therefore we decided to found the project “Perception for Kids” and instead of shipping wine around the world we donated an amount to the project.
