Today is 'World Autism Awareness Day' - not as big as, say, 'Breast Cancer Awareness Day' or even the lesser known 'Pink Cowry Masks for Funsies Day' (its a Burkina Faso thing) but by no means is it less important.
One of the offshoots of our trip is to raise money for a school specialising in the management of Autistic children. The Key School does some phenomenal work with these kids and is truly an amazing institution.
If anyone is feeling particularly generous at this, the beginning of the month - and having safely negotiated the hurdle of April Fools Day - any donation to this great school would go to excellent use and be extremely appreciated. To donate just click on the link on the upper right corner of this blog.
Alternatively the very American theme for the day is 'Light it Up Blue' so you can show your support by lighting up a blue lightbulb. Personally I have never seen anyone who owns a blue lightbulb besides stores specialising in trance music and leather whips, so this seems particularly obscure to me. I think a small donation would be better.
