Persons with disabilities can:
- Learn the past
- Talk about big and small issues
- Share ideas
- Listen to others
- Make things to share your ideas
The community gains:
- A place for everyone
- A place for everyone to learn new things together
- A place to share ideas
I lead an organization called Our Space Our Place, Inc., an after school program for youth who are blind. We visit many museums. Our students learn about different cultures. They write stories and poems. They talk about the stories in art. They talk about their favorite paintings and sculptures with their families and friends. Taking a tour or making art opens new worlds.
