Powerfully touched by the differences
Testimonial by James Schreiner
“Here I am in a culture far removed from my own,” says James Schreiner about his time supporting in Asha Niketan (as L’Arche is called in India) Chennai, India, “and yet a smile is the same the world over: I love seeing Franci Akka smile. When I am with her, I often think of Linda from L’Arche Erie and the gifts they share. She brings joy to us all.”
