For four consecutive years, Araneta City
has joined the international community in observing World Autism Awareness Day
(WAAD) through the lighting up blue of the Smart Araneta Coliseum. For this
year’s celebration, Araneta City has partnered with Autism Hearts Philippines
for an online exhibit of some of the artworks from their “Yakap Sining”
showcase.
Autism Hearts' “Yakap Sining” is an event
that aims to celebrate the artistic talents of children with autism through an
art exhibit and a fashion show of their beautiful creations scheduled to be held
in New York and San Francisco.
Lucky for us, Autism Hearts Philippines
gave us the opportunity to find out more about these talented children to
commemorate World Autism Awareness Day.
