Baiduri Sponsors Therapists To Autism Workshop

Bandar Seri Begawan - Baiduri Bank sponsored therapists from the Child Development Centre and the Society for the Management of Autism-Related Issues in Training, Education and Resources (Smarter) to participate in an autism workshop in Singapore.

The sponsorship is in line with the bank’s continuing effort to support local charitable organizations.

The two-day workshop on "Teaching Social Thinking and Social Skills to Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders at Home and at School" will be held from February 15-16, according to a press release.

This workshop provided an opportunity for participants to develop insights and educational information into the minds of autistic children and equipped them with knowledge and skills.

These new acquired skills will be shared with other therapists, parents and siblings of these special children as well as staff and volunteers of Pusat Ehsan, KACA, Special Education Unit and other community groups.

Yesterday, a presentation of donation was held by Baiduri Bank at its head office in Kiarong Complex where Philippe Petitier, Senior Deputy General Manager of the bank, presented mock cheques to Rose Lim of the Child Development Centre, who accepted it in behalf of Malai Haji Abdullah, and President of Smarter.

This sponsorship is one of the bank's ongoing initiatives to fulfill its corporate social responsibility towards the local community.
