About the Program
Learn about Adam’s journey with Type 1 Diabetes (an invisible, chronic condition), as he navigates returning to school, playing with friends, and continue doing the things he loves. Learn about who helped him along the way - and how we can show kindness and lend a helping hand to those around us.
This event is the formal launch of Ang Mo Kio Library’s Dec 2022 Art Exhibition, “Through The T1D Looking Glass”. The programme includes:
- Introduction to Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
- Storytelling by the authors of “My Name Is Adam. I Have Type 1 Diabetes”
- Sharing about the art exhibition
Note: storytelling will be in English.
Free registration, limited slots, first-come-first-served.
