Positive inclusion

So this week is momentous. I've been leading on developing the Programme for our first ever international conference on disability with 60 delegates from 33 countries. First day / very exciting!

Basically we want to see how we can ensure that children with disabilities are included in our education, health and livelihood programmed in the future, in the 69 countries we work in. A worthy task - but it's gonna take time!

This photo is amazing but it's not mine so I openly admit to pure plagiarism!! But it hit me the moment I saw it - a mans future was torn from him when he lost his legs in Cambodia. But perseverance, ingenuity and a helping hand from Handicap International (one of our partners) enable him to overcome adversity and make a living in a dignified way. I love it!
