what difference does 1,000 baby bouncer seats make?

You may remember that when DOMA announced its fall trips, we mentioned taking a serious amount of aid to babyhouses and orphanages in

Ukraine

.  We got word this week that the crate will be loaded by the end of July, which means it will be in country in time for our visit in early October. 

What difference does 1,000 baby bouncer seats make?

If an orphaned infant spends all their time on their back staring blankly, they aren't getting a proper view of the world in which they live.  Bouncer seats aid in neurological, emotional, physical, and relational development.  They give a child an upright view of their surroundings, provide opportunity for eye-contact and interaction with peers and caretakers.  They are fun and soothing - they play music and vibrate.  And they give a child an opportunity for exercise - for using their necks, arms, and legs to interact with their world.

DOMA believes in early intervention and crisis prevention.  By investing in children while they are young, before further tragedies create greater decay and desapir, we can see a generation grow up with hope and possibility.  We belive that care and compassion is more contagious than disease and despair.
