The Lions Club members in Muar gathered in Sin Kee Ting Restaurant on 31-7-2007 and formed a Committee to plan and set up a centre to be named "Muar Lions Autism Centre" as a joint community service project of the 4 Lions Clubs in Muar, namely the Lions Club of Muar Host, Lions Club of Muar Tanjung Mas, Lions Club of Muar Mahaledang and Lions Club of Muar Putrie.
The Autism Centre will provide educational training to autistic children above the age of 12 conducted by trained teachers. It is reported that there is one autistic child in every 110 children. The lions in Muar have noticed the lack of educational centres in Muar which provide specialised training to autistic children and have agreed to undertake the project.
All still in planning stage. Hopefully after a couple of months, the Centre will be running. Meanwhile, parents with autistic child may register with the Committee to enrol their autistic child to receive educational training in the Centre once set up. Of course, a reasonable monthly charges will be imposed.
For registration, please contact Lion David Lock 012-252 8245 or personally go to Sin Kee Ting Restaurant and see Lion Goh Ah Nea, the Centre's Chairperson, for further details.
