The Guaranty Trust Bank Orange Ribbon Initiative is one of our community development programs on child healthcare, designed to support children with developmental disabilities or special needs, especially Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The Initiative creates a platform where you can learn about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Autism Spectrum Disorder; as with other developmental challenges arise from insufficient development of a child’s physical, emotional or intellectual capacity. This is largely misunderstood by society making it difficult for affected children to cope with the everyday demands of their environment and may lead to varying stages of social stigmatization.

Our theme for the 2015 programme is themed ‘Bridging Gaps & Transforming Lives’.

There is no single answer or one-size fits all treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities. Learning new techniques and other truths however, can help families cope with the emotional and physical challenges and allow communities to better understand and serve children and young adults with disabilities their attempts to communicate and to lead a normal life.

We welcome the chance to work with people in creating a climate of understanding and a network of educators and experts to further provide assistance in this awareness endeavor.

Bridge the gap and BE A VOICE for children living with autism…

Oluwole Olabode is a young Nigerian student and the convener of ‘Gifted Minds’, a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) that cares for the physically challenged persons. Wole, though disabled, initiated and run the NGO for people with special needs. In this exclusive interview, he shares his thoughts and reasons people like him should be cared for specially.

Let’s get to meet you.
I am Oluwole Olabode by name. I attended Comprehensive Academy, Ogun state and also furthered my education at Community College Baltimore County where I earned a degree in Computer Science. I would still like to take a major course in Information Technology so as to be equipped with advanced knowledge and analytical tools that would make me qualified for my future success.

What informed your decision to float this NGO?
Being an individual that have stayed both in Nigeria, and America, I realized the need to help those who are less privileged. I realized how much disabled individuals are finding it difficult to achieve their dreams. So many disabled individuals are dreamers who want to live a better life, change the world as much as they can, and also contribute to the growth of our country. However, these dreams are been cut short because of the neglect of they suffer in the society. Social welfare for the disabled is very poor in Nigeria. Rather than been in classes, disabled individuals are seen on the streets either begging for alms or hawking by the road side and they sometimes end up been hit by moving cars.

Dayo Ibitoye is a Digital Media Consultant, Digital Community Management, Tech guru and Entrepreneurship. He is a co-founder of dayoibitoye.net, an Information Technology driven blog with a special purpose of providing latest information on Science and Technology. The blog has bagged duos awards as the best science and technology blog twice. In this special interview, he talks about his blog and what inspired him to venture into blogging. Excerpts:

Tell me about dayoibitoye.net?
www.dayoibitoye.net is a tech blog that started in 2011. It has bagged two awards at the Nigeria blog awards -- Best science and technology blog award in 2012 and 2013 respectively. It was also nominated for the Nigeria Blog of the year Awards in 2013 alongside popular blogs like Linda Ikeji Blog, SisiYemi Blog and 360 nobs.

What inspired you to go into ICT blogging?
I started blogging out of curiosity. I remember back in 2010, I was freelancing for a US tabloid, UPI International, I would go online to source for stories and get to know what the latest trend is to report on, in that process, I stumbled on blogs like CP Africa, YNaija etc. Blogging then was not very popular, only few blogs then were common, Linda Ikeji, Bella Naija were few of the most popular ones. One day, I just thought to myself that I can start something like this. And this prompted me to open my first blog, which I named ‘impressions of my passion’. All I did then was to post on it my publications then for UPI and The Nation newspaper. I did this up till 2012 when I decided to go fully into ICT blogging since it wasn’t very popular as at then. That was how DayoIbitoye’s blog (DIB) started.

What excites you most about what you do every day as a blogger?
The ability to share stories of innovations, startups and inventions in an interesting way to educate people gives me joy. I feel fulfilled knowing people add to their wealth of knowledge anytime they open my blog to read.

Is blogging your full time job?
No it isn’t, I have a regular 9-5 job in the international development sector. But on the other hand, I would say it is because I partly work as a blogger in my company. So blogging still pays my bills (smiles).

How do you combine blogging with your full time job?
Hmmm, well it has not been easy since I started working full time. The demands of my job have not made me pay full attention to DIB unlike before. Now I have someone that regularly update the blog for me whenever I get very busy but most times I do it myself when I have the chance.
