Helping 'differently-abled' and disadvantaged children and adults in Nepal and other developing countries.

An excerpt from Rob's letter to children and adults with disability...

"I can see to a day when there will always be a willing person to help you cross the street. And as they hold your hand or touch your arm to help you they will realize the gift you give them. By coming in contact with your physical imperfections, they will come to realize their own inner imperfections and to see that it is our imperfections that make us who we are as humans in an imperfect world. You will teach us, and we will grow."
