Hello everyone
|
|
"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor" ~ English proverb
Welcome one and all to the July/August edition of the Inclusion WA newsletter. When I put on my tweed pondering cap to consider how best to introduce the newsletter I remembered this quote from my childhood. I felt that this is pretty relevant to the important yet often challenging work that happens at Inclusion WA. While I am proud to be associated with this organisation I am also continually impressed by the fantastic work that other great people are doing to break down the barriers to social isolation.
For this edition of the newsletter I doff my tweed cap to Edna and the great work she is doing with a young lady that she supports; to Josh and the progress he is making to travel independently to TAFE; to all the folks who assisted with this year’s quiz night; to the fantastic people at PWdWA and DDWA for the essential work that they do in the independent advocacy space; and finally to the young folks at YDAN who have aspirations to make big waves in the future.
Happy reading.
Richard Orr, General Manager
