When a child with autism encounters changes in his daily routine, his behavior changes dramatically and family dynamics break down. El Avila on fire sending off a smell different from the customary one; electricity coming on and off; no running water; frequent siren sounds; nervous people everywhere, among other things are barriers they must overcome and control in order to continue shining in their surroundings.
On April 4th 2019, Human Rights Watch reported: “the combination of severe medicine and food shortages within Venezuela, together with the spread of disease across the country’s borders, amounts to a complex humanitarian emergency that requires a full-scale response by the United Nations secretary-general”. Just think how much support our families need to meet their children’s special needs.
Maintaining the essential conditions that allow our children to recover and keep their balance is KEY in such highly uncertain conditions. And we the parents, teachers, and volunteers at Autismo en Voz Alta understand that the vastly structured nature of our program, and the skills we teach, do have a major positive impact in the wellbeing of both them and their families.
We at Autismo en Voz Alta are committed to continue operating our programs and to provide our services. We have developed and implemented back up plans, addressed transportation challenges, and as a team are ready to be there every day to support and educate our kids. You, our donors, make it possible.
No words can express our gratitude on behalf of our community. THANK YOU
