I loved reading how to came to find such joy in working with your new family and friends. I had a neghbor family who recently moved to Italy, the little boy has Down's Syndrome. I just miss that little guy so much. Luckily we are still in contact with the family. There is so much love in the world to spread and people with disabilities can spread it infectiously if people accept it. So open the doors, invite others in, and let positiveness spread. Happy thoughts to you and your family and friends.

Excellent article! I am very touched. I am particularly moved by some of the profound observations you have made concerning the whole child and, this aspect is not covered nearly enough in our present society, the spirit. I will read more of your articles because you have something to teach worth learning. Thank you for coming straight from the heart!



Keep up the good work

Keep up the good work. I use to do voluntary work in a school for children with special needs and to me the work was so exciting but even more special because of my own disability which was brought on by a stroke at age 7yrs and 6 months that I could relate to many of them because it was like looking in a mirror and seeing myself at that age(I hope that makes sense)



Carry on that excellent work.

I'm so moved reading your a experiences with children with disabilities. You're doing a noble job for the sake of humanity. I sallute you for your works. Your writings reminds me the film "Black". You're working with many many Black I mean childs with disability. I love children very much. They're like angels to me. As I'm a broadcast journalist, sometimes I get chance to meet such childs. Always I feel if I could do something for them? Ruhul Amin Rushd, Senior Reporter, Bangla Vision ( A satellite TV), Dhaka, Bangladesh. e-mail: ruhulrushd@yahoo.com

Dear Anand, i must say that you write well. I was wondering if you are aware that soon there will be UN convention on Disability. This is coming up after much deliberation. On the other hand, Indian Govt. is trying to rush in with the amendments in Persons with Disability Act..which i do not think is good becuase its being done without consulting the disability worrld in true sense. the elventh five year plan is being worked upon...the expenditure review of Minstry of Social Justice and empowerment shows that crores of money does nto get spent!! I wonder how?? It seems they have no idea about how to spend it efficiently!! let me know your thougths!! regards shweta



I am looking up to do some thing for people with disabilities
Omaima Gasim | Jan 24th, 2007
Dear Anand, I liked very much your work and your amazing skills and knowledge, Ok, it is not my speciality but I work as a volunteer in an association that provides legal, psycological, and social aid to people with disabilities and special needs of all ages, it is good experience to me to be around, although I don't have direct contact with them but I am trying to do some thing to them, I found many kinds of problems that could face them in such community, they have lack of knowledge about the daily life, especially people with hearing and mental disabilities and really will be pleased by any kind of advice you can offer? we are in Egypt, as you know egypt has great population and so it has also large numbers of people with disabilities who could reach more than one million and a half, officially but in deed it could be double this number! most of them are under the poverty line, and with care of thier labour parents that present very severe conditions of living..which is truely making thier lives harder .. I may write you more soon, if your time allows you, my sincere appreciation
