"The rich think they know it all, but the poor can see right through them. " It comes from the book of Proverbs (Chapter 28 verse 11 in "The Message" transalation). This was written thousands of years ago but is still just as true today. As soon as I read it I thought of the COINS Foundation and its approach of asking people what they really need.

COINS Foundation have certainly set themselves a challenge in Zambia but a very worthwhile one, as you say the principle is easy it just needs a community of commitment both here and in Zambia to build the capacity to carry it through.

My thoughts are that anything that is good practice for disabled people is really the right way forward for everyone else too. If we think about the best way to behave towards each other - do as you would be done by kind of idea - then our humanity is the foundation and that applies to all of us. It's very simple but not easy to put into practice. All best wishes to you Juliet You are right Maggie.
