Shine a light for children with autism - Venezuela

Today we feel blessed and grateful as we celebrate the accomplishments and, the development of our graduating class.

Another school year has successfully finished. Thanks to you, it has been possible. Thanks to you, our community has had the means to face and address the many challenges that have arisen as a result of the current economic and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.

Thank you for trusting us and continuously giving the support we need.

Below Miguel’s graduation speech. There are no better words to express his and our gratitude.

Hoy celebro el fin de una etapa especial en mi vida, me despido de grandes personas de quienes disfruté su compañía durante este año escolar, se que los recordaré, y en mi mente estarán por mucho tiempo, por eso quiero agradecer:

• A Dios por darme esta maravillosa experiencia de conocerlos y ponerlos en mi camino.

• A mis padres por impulsarme y darme su apoyo a pesar de las dificultades económicas y familiares.

• A mis maestras por brindarme sus conocimientos y prepararme académicamente a esta nueva experiencia que se me aproxima.

• A mis compañeros por brindarme muchos momentos divertidos en los que compartimos, jugamos y peleamos durante este año, se que los recordaré a cada uno de ustedes.

• A esta Maravillosa Institución por abrirme sus puertas y darle a mi vida una historia diferente, llena de muchos aprendizajes que se mantendrán en mi corazón y en mi vida para siempre.

 Dios les bendiga a todos, los quiero y extrañaré mucho….
