2023 marks the 16th World Autism Awareness Day, which this year has a theme of caring for and supporting children with autism, their caregivers, and professionals working in this field.
Beijing Star and Rain Education Institute for Autism, founded in 1993, is the first charitable organization in China that specializes in supporting children with autism and their families.
Every year it hosts charity auctions with donations from companies and individuals; all proceeds go to supporting the education of autistic children.
This year’s auction fell on April 2, World Autism Awareness Day, with paintings created by autistic children, fine arts, and pieces of jewelry donated by well-known brands and individuals.
