Mewsic Foundation

Mewsic is a non-profit organisation started in India by Australian cricket legend Brett Lee. Mewsic’s vision is: Every child experiences and benefits from the joy and power of music. Mewsic has entered into partnership with The Music Therapy Trust, to help to heal the physical, mental and emotional wounds of marginalized children. They will work together to offer a 6 month “Songs of Hope”Music Therapy Songwriting Project at Bal Sahyog, a New Delhi based children’s home. Dr. Lucanne Magill says”This project will help children to compose and record songs of meaning for themselves and for others. They will be ‘leaders’ of their own projects and CDs will be created and shared.”

Autism Care,Nepal



Autism Care Nepal www.autismnepal.org is a small organisation founded in April 2008 by a group of parents of autistic children, to provide information and support for those affected by autism in Nepal.

Autism is a complex, lifelong neurological and developmental disorder that typically appears during the first three years of life. Both children and adults with autism have problems with social communication and social interaction, can avoid eye contact, show limited attachment to others and appear to live in their own world, showing a lack of social awareness.

In Nepal there is very little knowledge of autism; a lack of medical expertise means children are rarely diagnosed, there are few specialised teachers or therapists and society is not willing to accept children with autism. Most will end up in an institution or hidden in the house away from the social world. Autism Care Nepal estimates that there are between 10,000 to 50,000 autistic people in Nepal. We have partnered with Autism Care Nepal and now raising awareness and acting for the rights of autistic children. Both TMTTN and Autism Care Nepal are working to improve diagnosis, provide information and therapies and aiming to provide specialised behavioural and educational programmes for children to develop social skills, speech and language skills and life skills. Music therapy is a vital part of this work.
