Hi everyone. A new book has been added to the Bookshare collection
today called Loud Proud and Passionate: Including Women with
Disabilities in International Development Programs. It's title
sounds formal to me, like maybe a textbook you'd have to read for a
class. I was new here and wanted to help clear out some of the older
scans, and I started validating it with the expectation of being
bored silly. I couldn't have been more wrong. I am writing to
encourage each of you to consider reading at least the first 4
chapters of the book. While we may each have our own perspectives on
disabilities, this book did open my eyes to some things I never knew
or thought much about. It has also reminded me that I do have the
ability to help both myself and my less fortunate disabled peers. My
view of my blindness is changing now in some important and positive
ways. I stand a little taller now, and I feel confident that the
living conditions for all people with disabilities can improve. I
hope it will inspire you as it has for me.
Monica
