World Autism Awareness Day 2020 falls on 2 April. In conjunction with the day, the Metta Welfare Association is raising funds with a #HelpMettaSelena campaign to support its EIPIC (Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children) services for children with autism.

#HelpMettaSelena
In a video in support of the #HelpMettaSelena campaign, one mother shares how her daughter was diagnosed with autism at the age of 7.
“I just hope she can find a stable job (in future) and be independent on her own when we are no longer around,” said Mdm Goh, whose daughter now attends Metta School.
Metta Welfare Association’s #HelpMettaSelena campaign is on the Giving.sg platform. Donations will go towards supporting children with special needs who require special education.
The #HelpMettaSelena campaign runs till 12 April 2020. Find out more here.
