Our past few months were colourful with activities including:
Autism Initiatives Malaysia (AIM) Symposium 2018 from 13/07/18 to 14/07/18
5 of our staff attended the event which was held in JW Marriot Hotel, KL. Our advisor, Mrs Yammy Ang also serves as Chairman for AIM. The sessions catered mostly on topics related to the Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). We had a refreshing time with the sharing/topic presentations as well as interactive sessions arranged during the symposium.
Pre-concert & Coffee Session with the Philharmonic Society of Selangor’s team on 21/07/18
It was a fun afternoon out as we had a sing-along (with all staff, children and their families) under the rain tree with the Philharmonic Society of Selangor’s team. We then had a casual tea-break where we were able to fellowship and get to know more about each other’s work over makan!
Wings Melaka’s 20th Anniversary Celebration on 22/07/18
Our special day was hosted by Hatten Hotel, Melaka. We were also blessed with breathtaking choir performances by the Philharmonic Society of Selangor’s team titled “Music & Laughter”. They certainly did entertain the attendees with their fun and energetic singing and dancing. The event was followed by a high-tea reception by the hotel.
Parents Support Group on 25/08/18
Our guest speaker for the event was Ms Winnie Chin, a mother with a young adult son with autism. She shared about her journey with her son, Kevin who loves animals and is now working as a dog behaviourist. She encouraged parents to not give up but to explore and tap on their children’s passion and strength.
Our trainees from our Young Adults Program (YAP) also did some catering work as well as operating their café for the past few months. We are thankful to friends as well as to the community for their support.
To-date, we have 31 students in EIP, 14 students in SAP and 9 trainees in YAP – supported by a staff of 5 EIP/SAP teachers, 3 trainers, 1 head coach, 1 administrator and 1 executive director.
