It’s a great feeling to be able to give back to the community in anyway possible. I’ve always been of the belief that success comes with social responsibility. Being a firm advocate of good karma, I jumped at the chance to be part of a wonderful cause: “Golitos” Foundation.

“Golitos” is a non profit organization that aims to contribute to the full physical, social and emotional development of children with autism through sports therapy. They are the first entity to present to children with the disorder the fascinating world of soccer. The foundation offers a program aimed to help develop their physical, emotional and social skills using the sport as a conduit.  Events and curriculums are developed with a wide network of professionals specialized in autism, social, emotional development and of course sports knowledge.

I’m extremely proud to be a part of this campaign and hope that other people can become more receptive and understanding of the ordeal that children and adults with autism go through. Check out the official campaign for “Golitos” below:
