=Dolphin Therapy for Jean-Philippe=

Jean-Philippe is a smart, beautiful and loving kid, who, like many other children in the world, has been affected by autism, limiting strongly his communication and relations to other children. We, his parents, and with the help of Dolphin Aid (a non-lucrative organization) we are putting all our heart and effort to fundraise the $13,000 needed to bring him for a two weeks intensive dolphin therapy program in the Curacao Dolphin Therapy Center, with expert therapists in many fields besides the volunteer dolphins that are the main participants.

We think that Jean-Philippe has a lot to offer to the world, and that the dolphin therapy can help him have the breakthrough he needs to continue his journey towards having a social and productive life.

Is very important for us too, to tell you that these dolphins that help the children are NOT captive dolphins, they work absolutely as volunteers. The center has a passage to open sea through which the dolphins are taken out and they can leave and don’t come back if they don’t want, but THEY DO COME BACK FOR THE KIDS. We find this captivating and very moving!

We thank God for our beautiful son, we thank the dolphins for giving their love to help children with special needs, but specially we thank you for your kindness in helping us.
