Willemstad, Curacao (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) February 21, 2005 -- On Thursday February 17th, 2005, Curacao
Dolphin Academy welcomed its first participants of the Children’s Wish
Foundation. This non-profit organization fulfills wishes for children with
life-threatening illnesses and is committed to making each child’s wish a
once-in-a-lifetime event.
It is their goal to create an escape, however
brief, from the challenges these children face every moment of the day. And
hereby, they do not only focus on the child alone but on the entire family,
giving them the opportunity to share a moment of magic, creating fond memories
that carry on with them long after their precious child is gone. Curacao Dolphin
Academy strongly relates to this philosophy and therefore was very willing to
assist in the work of this foundation.
17-year old Dana Adams was
diagnosed with a terminal illness when a social worker at her hospital brought
her into contact with the Children’s Wish Foundation. Ever since then Dana,
together with the foundation, started planning her wish to swim with dolphins.
After a difficult year for Dana and her family, it was Dana herself who selected
the island of Curacao and the Dolphin Academy as the locations where her wishes
could come to life.
Together with the Children’s Wish Foundation the
Curacao Dolphin Academy made sure that Dana could see her wish become reality.
In the Dolphin Lagoon of The Academy, Dana and her family enjoyed a swim with
dolphins Teresa & Annie and trainer Livingston.
Being honored with
the visit of Dana and her family, the people of Curacao Dolphin Academy hope
they gave her and her family a long lasting memory and wish her all the best.
The cooperation with the Children’s Wish Foundation was greatly appreciated and
therefore Curacao Dolphin Academy is looking forward to work together with the
foundation in making more special children’s wishes come true.
