Living with autism is never a limit; it is a unique way of seeing the world and expressing talent. Guided by this conviction, Hafakely Mahay was created with a clear mission: to educate, empower, and unleash the potential of youth with intellectual differences through the power of Art. Their ultimate long-term dream? To build a major inclusive art school right here in Madagascar.

🇲🇬 🎨 𝐓asongadina: Tetikasa Iraisana “𝐇𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐲” 🌟
Aminkafaliana no izaranay aminareo ny tetikasa 𝑯𝒂𝒇𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝑴𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒚. Tetikasa mampandray anjara sy manome aingam-panahy izy ity, ary entin’ireto pairs unifiés ireto: 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐚 sy i 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐒𝐎𝐀.
Tsy sakana velively amin’ny fanehoana ny talenta ananana ny maha-autiste, fa fomba fijery hafa manokana izao tontolo izao. Niainga avy amin’izany fahaleovan-tena izany ny Hafakely Mahay, ary manana tanjona mazava: ny hanabe, hanome hery, ary hamoaka ny fahaiza-manao miafina ao anatin'ireo tanora manana fahasembanana ara-tsaina amin'ny alalan'ny Kanto (Art). Ny vinavina sy ny nofinofy lehibe any aoriana? Ny hanorina sekoly ambony momba ny kanto sy ny zavakanto ho an'ny rehetra (école d'art inclusive) eto Madagasikara.
🚀Ireo dingana efa vita teny an-kandrina:
•Dingana voalohany : Nahomby sy tontosa soa aman-tsara tamin’ny volana aprily lasa teo ny andiany voalohany amin’ny atrikasa momba ny kanto, izay niarahana niasa tamin’ny La Maison Sociale des Arts tao amin’ny EPP Vohibola.
•Dingana faharoa : Nanomboka tamin’ity volana mey ity, efa mizaka tena sy mandeha amin'ny herin'ny tenany manokana ny tetikasa! Nanomboka tamin'ny fomba ofisialy ireo fotoam-pampianarana zavakanto vaovao niarahana mivantana tamin’ny ACBHM (Association Culturelle pour la Bienfaisance des Handicapés Mentaux), sekoly manokana ho an'ireo tanora manana fahasembanana ara-tsaina eto Antananarivo.
Hita taratra tanteraka amin'ny alalan'ny fahaiza-mamorona sy ny fahaiza-mitondra ananan'ity rantsana roa tonta ity ny fanahy maha-iray (esprit d'inclusion) sy ny fiaraha-miasa.
