The number of homes, that take the needs of autistic youngsters into account, has increased. Most of them were built thanks to civil initiation and many of them support themselves which means they are about to cease.
To help them, a program called „Fogadj be” was brought to life by the organisiers.
The Concorde Group and the Smile Home Foundation has started an unusual initiation: a program called „Fogadj be” gives a chance to support young artists and homes where handicapped youngsters are nutured. The main element of it is a social evening combined with a charitable auction, which was held on 26th July in the Műcsarnok.
The aim of the program „Fogadj be” is to help young, new starter artists through the purchase of an art piece, combined with the sponsorship of a home where autistic youngsters are nurtured. This came true through an auction ceremony, held on 26th June in the Műcsarnok. The copulation of these two completley different areas are no coincidence:on the one hand both of them are far away from the society’s and decesion-makers field of vision, which often threathens their existance, on the other hand the program wants to prove it in practice , that it is possible and neccesary to communicate and to understand each other even though people came from completley different backgrounds, in this case for example young artists, handicapped people and Maecenas. On the auction you could bid for different packages, each of them comprising a work of a young artist and the sponsorship of a home. With the purchase of a pacakege, the buyer receives for the half of the bid price the given artist’s work, the other half goes to the chosen home.
„It originates from the name „Take me in” that the Program is about to „take in” and „to accept” . First of all, it is about understanding each other, thinking together, helping each other. I think we are all handicapped, thank God nobody is perfect, everyone has a strong and a weak side. Many of us for example lack empathy and acceptance.” – said Jaksity György, CEO of the Concorde Group.
Masterplast Group Zrt. is part of the program too. This year and for the next two coming years, the Group has „taken in” the Autistic Charity from Miskolc and Péter Halász. The work of Péter Halász „Fénysátor” is shown in the main building.
