Events include a sponsored family day at Lushan Country Life Nature Park, a Mass intention and a fundraising mixer at the end of the month, to name a few.

One of the many highlights of the month will be the official book launch of Delia Samuel PhD who has written a book dedicated towards assisting and motivating parents of children with ASD.

The Book, Against the Odds; Inspiration for Parenting Children with Special Needs, has been launched in the US and UK and Dr. Samuel comes home to share it with her island.
