Most individuals with Autism need a lifetime help in their daily life skills.
Due to the high demand for interventional therapy on children with Autism in Lebanon, and the High Cost required to provide the child with an appropriate follow up, AAA association is offering a part of the therapy’s cost to children with Autism as a little contribution for the parents and make a difference in their lives.
This project was made possible thanks to the support of the Diplomatic Spouses Association of Lebanon DSAL and to the cooperation of Arc En Ciel.
Since March 2017, AAA started offering Afternoon Therapy Interventions for children with Autism, with more than 9 kids benefiting from this project for Occupational Therapy and home-based ABA therapy interventions.
AAA had the pleasure of welcoming the President of the 'Diplomatic Spouses Association of Lebanon' Mrs. Gouri Balachandran and the Vice-President Mrs. Sadia Sarker, with other board members at Arcenciel in the presence of AAA President Mrs Ghada Hayek Makhoul, AAA board members Me Colette Hayek, Mrs Maria Boustany Abi-Nasr, Mrs Marleine Mhanna, AAA Project coordinator & Fundraiser consultant Mrs. Magida Samara and Committees Presidents Dr Rina Corbani & Mrs Ghada Mwannes Henoud, along with Arcenciel Director of Center, Mr Robin Richa and HR Responsible Ms Lina Chaccour.
AAA is grateful for the collaboration of the DSAL and their support to our cause by offering special educational material to make this project come true.
On July 5th, we were invited by DSAL new President Mrs Sadia Sarker, spouse of Bangladesh Ambassador, for a friendly lunch, to tell thank you and good bye to the former DSAL President Mrs. Gouri Balachandran, spouse of Malaysian Ambassdor, who will be leaving Lebanon to Malaysia, in the presence of Project coordinator & Fundraiser consultant Ms. Magida Samara and several friends.
