Dear Tina, and Colleagues in related venues:

 

Thank you for posting this very indeed moving piece. 

 

Though you would never ask for it, you are to be congratulated for your enduring devotion to what we often call "equality" but in bare grab I would venture is basically "humanity." 

 

Because of perceived differences and presumed effort it would take to understand difference and network it in. 

 

Even though difference when and if explored would often be revealed as need, and even special gifts and certainly compelling or critical circumstance.

 

Your contributions in areas where en masse huge numbers of persons are -  unthinkable though it is -  brutalized when they should be supported, is very important and should be supported by all.

 

Here is a good example, though the picture painted is of course very intense.

 

With best wishes, LDMF.

Dr. Linda D. Misek-Falkoff

Dear all,

I am moved and humbled by this message from WNUSP's member organization in Rwanda, another one of the emerging group of user/survivor organizations in Africa.

Many of you and our other colleagues have been interested in the perspective of people with psychosocial disabilities in conflict situations; this is an outstanding example of advocacy.

Best wishes,

Tina Minkowitz
