The Maia Chung Autism and Disabilities Foundation endorses and is working with the Cotton Tree Toys For Kids Project for Christmas 2013 and we ask our supporters to read this update and get involved.
Thank you all.
INTRODUCTION
It started with an eventful trip to New York in December 1994 where the pre-conceived notion to treat children with toys on Christmas day in Jamaica, evolved. Venroy Nairne formed the C
and is Founder and President.
The organization is geared towards hosting an annual toy giving exercise for
children in Jamaica.
