How wonderful is it when a truly committed human being, a paediatric neurologist to boot, spends her valentines day from 8.30am to 2.30pm attending to our community at the free diagnostic clinic hosted at Action in Autism. Dr. Anele Mkhize you are truly a blessing to us. We are deeply grateful to you for your service to our autistic constituency. Dr. Mkhize attended to 18 patients.

The staff year end party was a small but joyous occasion. It was a way in which to thank staff for the dedicated and committed work they put in for the year. It was also a time to see employees let their hair down and have some fun. To our staff, thank you for your service to our autistic community. From the executive board and management boards of Action in Autism, we value every one of you and wish you a wonderful, blessed, safe holiday.

We are incredibly grateful to Mr. Deon Naidoo and the amazing team at LDN Concrete and Waterproofing for their generosity and support.

Thanks to their kindness, our little ones in ELIC now have beautiful new carpets to brighten and warm their learning space. Our office is also deeply appreciative of the laptop donation, which will go a long way in improving our daily operations and service to our learners.

Deon and his team also took on the immense task of grading the land at the back of our property — a crucial step in bringing our future agricultural project to life. This dream is now possible because of their belief in what we do.

We are truly thankful to have such wonderful people and companies walk alongside us in supporting the growth, development, and success of our learners and students.

Thank You for an Incredible "Endless Summer" Market 2025!

What a truly beautiful day it was at Action in Autism’s Endless Summer Market! We are so grateful that the weather held up, and even more grateful for the incredible turnout and support from every external vendor who joined us. Meeting so many local businesses who stand firmly behind our students and the mission of inclusion was an absolute delight.

A grand event like this is only possible through the generosity and kindness of many. Heartfelt thanks to the families, individuals, and businesses who supported us through donations and sponsorships in various capacities, including:

Kensington Spar, KZN Rainbow Inflatables, Sweets & Biscuits Unlimited, The Edmonds Family, The Goqo Family, The Shongwe Family, Annusha Dalu, Vimla Maharaj & Shervaan Sewnuker, The Buccus Family, The Deka Family, Jwayelaani, New Era Print and Forms, Shelina Surajdeen, Viresh & Nadiria Mishtry, The Juggernath Family, The Mtshali Family, The Nugent Family, The Eastwood Family, Azra Moola & Yunus Moola, Nafees Khan & Razia Khan, Sandy Singh, Vikash Oodit, Foam Fundi, Lorraine Roselt, Tom & Paul Wallach, and Renuka Lal.

Your contributions made an enormous impact.

A special thank you to Candace Grondein for enabling our students to distribute flyers at Kensington Square every Wednesday — your support helps build confidence, communication skills, and community connection.

Our deep appreciation also goes to Prince Makhoba, Aaron Drimmie, and David De Beer for their exceptional musical talent and live performances that added energy and joy throughout the day.

To our incredible volunteers —
Rene Jade Hiralal, Dan Hiralal, Sandy Hiralal, Annusha Dalu, Vimla Maharaj, Phumzile Manana, John Edmonds, Afton Eastwood & Fabian, Kathy Nugent, EXCO Members, Ziningi Myeni, and Wendy Mandlate — thank you for your time, your hands, and your hearts.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to the dedicated Action in Autism staff of both the ELIC and the Shahumna Centre. Your tireless work, commitment to inclusion, and belief in our students create meaningful opportunities and empowering spaces for all neurodiverse individuals.

The success of the "Endless Summer" Market is a reflection of every supporter, volunteer, vendor, and promoter of autistic people.

Thank you, everyone, for standing with us and celebrating inclusion, community, and the brilliance of our students.
