Inspiring visit to the Gunjur Inclusion Centre last week, where disabled children are able to access play and feel fully included in society, with amazing support for families also. We need more of these here. More at Disability-Africa.org. @DirectoratDA

At the SLIP centre we are constantly in awe of our children's progress. Play really develops children in many ways: whether it's learning to count via card games or making friendships & building social skills: the SLIP is proving that disability is not inability. @DirectoratDA

All children need love and care for successful adult outcomes. We can build beautiful and spacious buildings, but without the love and care for the children there, it means nothing . Amazing things happening at SLIP Makeni: children developing in ways that are unimaginable!!#DA

I’m worn down by videos like this. I believe in valuing kindness & happiness. I also believe disabled people don’t exist just to make another person feel good about themselves. When people take a kind moment & make it viral, it’s no longer kind. It’s disingenuous & patronizing.

"Volun-tourism isn’t just irritating, it can also be harmful. Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) has described charity tourism as a new form of colonialism." An excellent opinion piece in @TheTab this week on the harm of #voluntourism: thetab.com/uk/edinburgh/2018…

Only 1% of all world aid goes to disabled people, and that simply isn't good enough. Here's what we're doing:- po.st/plays
