On behalf of the Association of Kenyans in Burundi, we extend our warmest greetings and join the global community in commemorating World Autism Awareness Day, observed annually on April 2nd.

This day serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of understanding, accepting, and celebrating the unique strengths and perspectives of individuals with autism. It’s a time to increase awareness about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for autistic individuals and their families, both here in Burundi and back in Kenya.

We believe in the power of community and the importance of extending our support to all members, regardless of their neurodiversity. Let us use this day to:

• Educate ourselves and others about autism, dispelling myths and misconceptions.
• Promote inclusion and acceptance in our homes, workplaces, and social circles.
• Show empathy and understanding towards individuals with autism and their families.
• Advocate for resources and support systems that can help autistic individuals thrive.

The Association of Kenyans in Burundi is committed to fostering a community where everyone feels valued and respected. We encourage you to take a moment today to learn more about autism and consider how you can contribute to a more inclusive society.

Let’s work together to create a brighter future where autistic individuals are empowered to reach their full potential.

Sincerely,

The Executive Committee Association of Kenyans in Burundi
