Friday, 10. On 1 October, class 1.C had a very special and heartfelt information session on diabetes. Yelena Chekulayeva came to our school – a wonderful and dedicated person who shared important information about diabetes with children and parents. Along with him came his faithful four-legged friend, Olli, a specially trained spaniel whose job is to help people with diabetes quickly spot dangerous changes in their health. Parents were also welcome to attend, as the topic is important and concerns us all. We found out what diabetes is, how a hypo works and how Olli saves his owner’s life every day. We also talked about why children with diabetes are so special and how each of us can support them.

Thank you Jelena and Olli for making our morning so memorable! We’re happy to share our impressions of this great meeting through pictures!
