Press Release
Dear
Editor:
We are
inspired by the people around the world that are speaking out for acceptance
and inclusion of Autistic children in society! Yes, that’s what you and I want
for every person on the autism spectrum disorders to be valued members of
society, respected and admired for their neurodiverse way of thinking.
We know
that you are working hard in the media to inform the country as we too are, to raise
the awareness to make sure that this happens in our lifetime! The ninth annual
World Autism Awareness Day is Sunday April 2, 2017. Every year, autism day is celebrated
around the world with unique fundraising and awareness-raising events.
In Sierra
Leone, Autism is silent but it is real, and for the first time, we are waking up
everyone to stand up and join to campaign to change the story. World
Autism Awareness Day speaks about the prevalence and significance of the autism
epidemic world-wide.
In recognition of
this occasion and to increase awareness of the autism epidemic, STOP IT-Sierra Leone is launching the
Day on Saturday 1st April, 2017 at its head office on 17 of
Kingharman Road in Brookfields, Freetown.
On April 1st we will read a proclamation to “implement the ideals of World Autism Awareness Day in Sierra Leone until we set up a Child Development Centre”. Please join us in a press conference on 1st April, 2017 at 17 Off Kingharman Road, Brookfields to bring this issue to the limelight it needs for attention and action in our country.
