Testimonies

We are creating projects where people with intellectual disabilities are change makers, contributors to society.

Be part of the change!

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.”
