Gust welcomed the Reach group, a volunteer group established in the Kuwait Center for Autism and their staff, volunteers, and patients to campus for a one day event. The iGive club volunteered to help out as much as possible by supervising booths and spending time with Reach students.
They filled the center with booths, displaying the artwork and handcrafts of their students, an information booth, a "leave your print" station, and a table where the students of the center came and worked on their weaving and artwork. Banners, bracelets, stickers, t-shirts, mugs, and badges were sold to promote Autism day. The center's students performed a traditional Kuwaiti dance and were applaud by Gust staff and students.
The interaction between the centers students and our students was incredible! People were eager to volunteer and converse with the Reach/KCA staff, volunteers, and students. The groups goal was to raise awareness in society and inform people about what autism: a disorder of neural development; is. Staff member of the Kuwait Center for Autism, Aroub Burhamah and iGive volunteers kindly encouraged Gust students to sign up for volunteering at the center.
