"We have to remind ourselves constantly that we are not saviors. We are simply a tiny sign, among thousands of others, that love is possible, that the world is not condemned to a struggle between oppressors and oppressed, that class and racial warfare is not inevitable."
-Jean Vanier, Community and Growth
Thank you for helping us create home and build community
for people with and without intellectual disabilities.
