MACL Unveils 2024 Calendar Showcasing Talents of Children with Autism

In a heartwarming initiative to promote inclusivity and showcase the unique talents of children with autism, the Maldives Airports Company (MACL) has unveiled its 2024 calendar. The calendar, launched at a special ceremony held at the Maldives Autism Centre, is a collaborative effort between MACL and the Maldives Autism Association, featuring drawings created by the talented students of the center.
The primary objective of the 2024 calendar is to raise awareness in society about the diverse skills of children with autism. By incorporating the drawings of these students, MACL aims to emphasize that these children, despite their differences, are an integral part of society and deserve acceptance and understanding.
Themed "Satisfaction and Happiness," the children's drawings beautifully capture their feelings and what brings them joy. The calendar serves as a powerful medium to convey the unique perspectives and creative expressions of these young individuals.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, MACL Deputy Managing Director Ibrahim Taha expressed the significance of the 2024 calendar, emphasizing that it holds special value as it features the artistic contributions of students from the Maldives Autism Association. Taha highlighted the company's goal to provide a platform for children with autism to showcase their talents and abilities while fostering a sense of acceptance within the community.
"Our goal is to give the children the opportunity to showcase their talents and abilities. To symbolize that the community accepts them. We would like to thank the Maldives Autism Association for supporting us in this regard," explained Taha.
In addition to dedicating the 2024 calendar to children with autism, MACL is committed to fulfilling its social responsibility by encouraging and providing opportunities for these children. The initiative reflects a broader commitment to creating a more inclusive and compassionate society, recognizing and celebrating the unique gifts of every individual, irrespective of their differences.
