The term "intellectual disabilities"
can refer to a multitude of
unique qualities.
To some it could mean rich sensitiveness
to others their skillful hands,
bold creativity, or extreme concentration.
Being “different” only opens countless doors to
endless possibilities.
We aspire to overcome prejudgments and
so-called common sense that divide the worlds
around us and will continue to showcase
these radiant talents in every way possible.
We aim to introduce a whole new culture to
the world, using welfare as our strong foothold.
