AS EVERY YEAR, ON APRIL 2 WE CELEBRATE THE WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY. TRADITIONALLY WE LIGHT UP BLUE ON THIS DAY AND WE PREPARE SOMETHING SPECIAL TO RAISE AWARENESS WITHIN OUR TINY COMMUNITY. AS YOU KNOW, THIS YEAR WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT HEALTH ISSUE, THE COVID-19 SPREAD, ANYWAY IN THIS ADVERSE CONTEXT, WE ARE GOING TO PUT ON, OUR BLUE LIGHTS IN OUR HEARTS. WE DO NOT FORGET. THIS IS THE TIME THAT ADVERSITY TAKES OUT THE BEST OF OURSELVES.
THIS YEAR WE TEAMED UP WITH BARCELONA BASED APRENEM ASSOCIATION TO RAISE FUNDS AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT AND INCLUSION OF KIDS WITH AUTISM.
THE APRENEM ASSOCIATION WAS BORN IN 2006 AS AN INITIATIVE OF A GROUP OF FAMILIES WITH THE AIM OF DEFENDING THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WITH AUTISM. IT PROVIDES GUIDANCE, INFORMATION AND LEGAL SUPPORT TO FAMILIES WITH WHOM THEY SHARE, WHAT HAS EVOLVED INTO A LIFE PROJECT FOR THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS, DEMANDING THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PEOPLE WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER.
