Each community that I work in is substantially different with often only one thing in common - The handicapped. Often these poor people are sent to the back of schools and facilities into trailers or other less favorable buildings where the paint is chipped and the future looks as bleak as the walls.

The Facts:
The world's mountains cover about one-fourth of the planet's land surface and are home to 10 percent of its population. They are a sanctuary for an extraordinary web of plant and animal life and a source of water for all of the world's major rivers.
Yet mountain people, the guardians of these valuable mountain resources, are among the world's poorest, hungriest and most marginalized populations.
