It was wonderful to share the work we do in supporting autistic people and creating an educational environment where Autistics can thrive, with students from the University of Colorado Boulder, who visited Durban as part of the Global Seminar in Health and Disease. Their genuine interest, thoughtful questions and positive feedback meant so much to us. The students from the Shahumna Centre baked delicious cupcakes for their visit, which was definitely a hit.
Thank you for visiting us and celebrating the amazing potential of every learner.

A huge thank you to Kensington Square for giving our Shahumna Centre students the opportunity to distribute flyers for our upcoming Midwinter Market!

As part of the marketing and business aspect of preparing for the market, our students were actively involved in engaging with the community and learning more about the process of running an event. They had an absolutely lovely time, and we are so grateful for the warm and welcoming reception from the Durban North community.

If you spot our students handing out flyers around the centre, please do stop and say “Hi!”

We look forward to seeing everyone at the Midwinter Market!

Our children spent the morning getting creative, making beautiful Mother’s Day cards for their lovely mommies.

Lots of glue, glitter, and love went into each one. We can’t wait for the moms to see them!

Happy early Mother’s Day to all the AiAmazing moms .
