Every child has a unique way of seeing the world, and children with autism remind us that different doesn’t mean less. Their creativity, honesty, and brilliance shine in ways that inspire understanding, patience, and love.

Last Sunday, we hosted Dorothy Nambi, Executive Director of Dorna Centre, a home for children with autism and Secretary of the Autism Society of Uganda, along with Najjuma Cydrine, a courageous child living with autism.
