A team of Nomura volunteers put their creative skills to good use on a recent visit to the P. C. Lee OneSky Global Centre for Early Childhood Development in Sham Shui Po as they made more than 100 bracelets in preparation for an upcoming #fundraising event for OneSky, one of our grantee partners. They also got to learn more about OneSky’s responsive approach to #childcare. Its wide variety of #parenting and early childhood care services and training programs align with Nomura’s giving strategy in #Asia ex-Japan. We aim to empower and upskill pre-school #caregivers and #educators so that the region’s most vulnerable children receive the #learning and stimulation they need to thrive.

Our World Autism Awareness Day event brought together over 160 participants to discuss how we can build a society where autistic persons and their families are not subject to disadvantage. Tadashi Imai, Vice Chairman of the Tokyo Autism Society, opened with a lecture to deepen participants’ understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The latter half of the session featured a panel discussion with families of autistic children and autistic persons . Autism Spectrum Disorder is a type of developmental disorder with a diverse range of symptoms and behaviors. Data shows it affects one in 20 to 40 people worldwide, and it is thought to be hereditary. The thought-provoking session enabled us to learn about Autism Spectrum Disorder and development disorders from several different perspectives. #Nomura remains committed to #DEI and offering a working environment where everyone can reach their full potential.
