A story about a supermarket in Metro Manila that gives work to persons with autism has gone viral recently.
The said supermarket has also been earning praises on social media.
According to a Facebook post on Autism Society Philippines:
Do your grocery shopping at the Savemore in Light Mall in Mandaluyong and say “hello” to their workers with #autism!
Thank you to SM Markets, SM Cares, Independent Living Learning Centre (ILLC Philippines), UP College of Education and UP-CAMP for all the hard work — past and future!
This partnership is one of many supported by the ASP Career Placement Initiative. ASP members with adult children (18yo and up) with autism who are job-ready and who want to join this program may send their resumes to autismphils@gmail.com.
Isn’t this inspiring? What do you think?
