JCI Manila together with the Center
for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) is organizing an event aimed to raise
autism awareness in the community called Golden Heart – Autism Awareness Fair
to be held at the Midtown Atrium of Robinsons Place Manila on January 28, 2018. This is aligned with Proclamation No. 711 declaring
the third week of January as the Autism Consciousness Week in the Philippines.
The fair is designed to be fun and
informative. It will feature resource
speakers from leading experts in the field of autism, an art exhibit and talent
showcase from talented individuals with autism, a sensory activity area and fun
& games for the kids. The event is
open to the public especially to the autism community where everyone is invited
to learn about autism and raise awareness in the community. Individuals
with autism, their families, loved ones and caregivers are encouraged to drop
by.
Autism is a lifelong disability
that prevents afflicted individuals from achieving their full potential. It
affects about 1 out of 68 persons.
Persons with autism have impaired socialization, communication and
adaptation skills, delayed psychomotor development, abnormal response to
sensory stimuli and peculiar patters of behavior. They seem to live in a “world of their own”
and seek to find meaning in their confusion by insisting on routine activities
and repetitive behavior.
JCI Manila
is a premiere leadership development organization. It is the organization where
young men join to become better leaders.
Dubbed as the University of Leaders, JCI Manila believes that it is
through reaching out to others that you learn more about yourself. That is JCI
Manila delves into an array of projects such as community development,
business, government, environment and more. The unifying force behind these
seemingly diverse projects is a group of young men who want to become better
leaders.
Center for Autism and Related
Disorders, Philippines-Professionals for Autism Foundation, inc. (CARD,
PHIL-PAFI) is a non-stock, non-profit education institution that is committed
to improving the lives of individuals with autism, their families and
caregivers by providing various programs and services which have proven to be
