There are more than 60 million disabled people in China, more than 100,000 of them are autistic, according to statistics. The actual number, however, is much higher than that. Beijing alone has about 80,000 autistic children. The problem is that there is a lack of available professional treatment.

Regarding respect and life quality, mentally disabled people and their families face very special problems. In order to help them we let them develop their potential talent though art. Everybody has the right to develop one's potential talents. We can get a really high quality of life only when we follow our talent. For the mentally disabled people, it's not enough that we just make them to learn the normal skills and live a normal life. We are there for mentally disabled people and their families in Beijing. The creative art therapy is an integrative way which also makes us try our vest to make progress.

The therapies I use include:

*Creative art therapy
*Chinese medicine therapy
*Martial therapy
*Games training
*Social communication training
*Family therapy
*Mixing art training
*Occupational training


I offer private lessons and group lessons for all these therapies.

With these eight therapies, I cannot only help them with their problems to a large extent, but also improve their abilities which can make them better socially accepted. They can participate more fully in society, contribute to it while realising their own personal wroth.

The vision for the future is to set up the first art therapy centre for disabled people in China, where we will also train other people to become art therapists themselves. Because I have so much work, I work from Monday to Sunday with learning and mentally disabled people. Most of them have no money and cannot pay anything for the therapy lesson but they need my help.

  At the moment the room I use for work is very small. I am moving temporarily into another space which costs Euro 300. Eventually we will need a larger place for therapy, relaxation and office.

  Mit einer Freundin zusammen habe ich im Oktober 2008 Chun (die Gründerin und Therapeutin des Zentrums) und Birgit (eine treue Unterstützerin des Projektes) in Peking getroffen und es war wirklich sehr beeindruckend, die Energie zu spüren, mit der Good Gifted Garden betrieben wird.
  
  Mit großer Leidenschaft widmet sich Chun der Therapie mit den Kindern und scheut keine Mühe, den kleinen Patienten und auch ihren Eltern zu helfen. Mit leuchtenden Augen hat sie uns von "ihren" Kindern und deren Fortschritten berichtet, an die vor Therapiestart niemand geglaubt hat.
  
  Wir können wohl Chun nicht helfen, einen Tag 48 Stunden dauern zu lassen, damit sie allen Hilfesuchenden helfen kann, aber mit einer Spende kann sie auch schon viele Pläne verwirklichen. In diesem Sinne hoffe ich auf Ihre Unterstützung, das Projekt hat es wirklich verdient! Christiane
