Project Gourm-A [pronounced gur-'may] aims to discover and show off skills of individuals on the spectrum in the restaurant industry -- from cooks, to waiters, from back office staff to entertainers. Open Hands School of Applied Arts and Gourmet Gypsy Art Cafe are, once again, helping ASP to bring the public an autism-inclusive dining experience.

Join the Project Gourm-A dinner
May 21, Sunday, 7PM at the Gourmet Gypsy Art Cafe, 25 Roces Avenue in Quezon City.
"A Project GourmA event, as always, promises to be an intimate, sumptuous dinner. We dine. We have fun. We celebrate diversity." shares ASP National President Mona Magno-Veluz.
"Adults on the spectrum who chose to work in this environment are very passionate about food -- it's very inspiring. And many PWAs, trained in institutions like Open Hand School of Applied Arts, are ready for competitive or accommodated employment in the food and restaurant industry," she adds. "The only way we can prove this is for the public to experience it!"
