There is a group of children who live in the same universe as us, but become lonely stars because of temporary loss of direction. They are autistic people known as "star children", but they have never been forgotten.

On May 12, 2024, which coincided with Mother's Day, the launching ceremony of the "Come on! Star Mom" Empowerment Program for Mothers of Children with Autism, jointly organized by Suzhou Chung-Hwa Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Suzhou Chung-Hwa Chemical & Pharmaceutical) and Suzhou Children and Teenagers Foundation, was warmly opened by the Jinji Lake in Suzhou Industrial Park. Ms. He Qian, Director of the Civil Affairs Department of the Social Affairs Bureau of Suzhou Industrial Park, Mr. Wang Jianzhong, Director of Suzhou Children and Teenagers Foundation, and other leaders of relevant units and Mr. Wang Houjie, Deputy General Manager of Suzhou Chung-Hwa Chemical & Pharmaceutical, attended the event.

In her speech, Ms. He Qian, Director of the Civil Affairs Department of the Social Affairs Bureau of Suzhou Industrial Park, expressed her deep concern for autistic children and their families, and her support and expectations for the "Come on! Star Mom" charity project. As the strongest support for autistic children, mothers often have to bear psychological pressure and life burdens beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The "Come on! Star Mom" project can better help and empower mothers, allowing them to learn from each other, support each other, and grow together. At the same time, it is also hoped that the development of this charity project can become a bridge connecting all sectors of society and conveying love and hope, so that more people can understand autism, pay attention to autistic children, and support the families of autistic children.

Mr. Wang Houjie, Deputy General Manager of Suzhou Chung-Hwa Chemical & Pharmaceutical, said in his speech: The rehabilitation of children with autism is a long process. Families, especially mothers who guard their children, often face special needs and difficulties. We care and understand this, and join hands with Suzhou Children and Teenagers Foundation to jointly launch the "Come on! Star Mom" charity project with the starting point and foothold of helping, empowering and caring for star moms. I believe that as long as the whole society works together, we can create a more inclusive and warm environment for them and contribute to the cause of charity and love!

At the launching ceremony, the person in charge vividly explained to the audience the core concept of the "Come on! Star Mom" empowerment program - through parenting education, parent-child activities and personalized services, helping mothers of autistic children enhance their self-ability, improve their mental health, master educational skills, and expand their social networks. A "Star Mom Companion" appointment ceremony was also held on site, and a project expert advisory group was hired to inject more professional strength into the project.

To celebrate Mother's Day and express gratitude to "star moms" for their efforts, autistic children from the Star Children Project and Xingyi Art Troupe presented the show "Mom, I Love You". The children showed the most simple emotions with vivid performances, conveying their deep gratitude to their parents and this loving society. It also made every guest present deeply feel the changes that charity has brought to autistic children and families, allowing more people to see the power and warmth of charity. In addition, during the on-site flower arrangement session, the children and their mothers shared joy and happiness in the interaction, making this Mother's Day particularly special.

The launching ceremony is just the beginning of the charity project. More importantly, it is the subsequent care for mothers of autistic children. Helekang® ^, a health care brand under Suzhou Chung-Hwa Chemical & Pharmaceutical, promises to donate 1 yuan to the "Come on! Star Mom" project for every bottle of product sold from May 1 to December 31, 2024. In addition, expert lectures, parent-child activities and consolation fund support will be held to reduce the economic and psychological pressure of autistic families with practical actions, and interpret the brand concept of "upgrading self-protection for love" with each charity action.

The special lectures will focus on the problems that autistic children encounter in daily family rehabilitation education, such as professional knowledge and skills training, emotional communication, adolescent coping, social adaptability, etc. In the form of experience sharing and special workshops, we will organize mothers' effectiveness training, build a mother learning community, improve mothers' parenting ability, cultivate mothers' problem-solving ability, and promote positive parenting of autistic children.

In the future, Suzhou Chung-Hwa Chemical & Pharmaceutical and the health brand ^Helekang® will continue to deepen their efforts in the field of health and carry out public welfare and charity to the end, so that every star mother can grow and improve, and every autistic child can get better care and support, so that the seeds of love and hope can take root and sprout in every corner! At the same time, we hope that all sectors of society can give more understanding, attention and support to the autistic community.
