2The Clars Foundation is a non-profit organization whose main aims are the fight against profound hearing loss and offer medical cooperation in Third World countries treating facial malformations as well as head and neck tumors.

The Clars Foundation attends the needs in Emergent countries, as well as provides Scholarships to doctors with no financial resources, since 1997. Among its objectives it also offers financial support to profound hearing loss patients in our country who have been implanted with a cochlear implant and organizes instructional courses in Emergent Eastern European countries, Asia and Africa.

The Clars Foundation, for years has been conducting its missions in the fields of audiology, speech re-habilitation, otorhinolaryngology, phoniatrics, facial plastic surgery and oral surgery. These projects have been materialized in many parts of the world, including India, Rumania, Republic of Moldavia, Ethiopia, Senegal, Liberia, Cameroon, Gabon, Gambia, Kenya, D.R. of Congo, Sudan and Cape Verde, with the donation of surgical medical supplies and essential life-saving medicines to conduct free surgeries to people in need. Additionally, the foundation donates and adapts hearing aids and some hearing implants to patients affected with hypoacusia.

The humanitarian mission that travelled to Senegal was composed by 10 members from the Clars Foundation and another medical team from the Barraquer Foundation headed by Dr. Elena Barraquer.These pages are a sample of the mission. The photographs were taken by each member of the team and thereof selected and edited in this book which aims to thank all those who have made possible this mission.

This mission and all the other activities organized by the Clars Foundation are conducted thanks to the professional collaboration, work and financial support of the Board of Trustees, to whom we greatly thank for.
