Ashoka Fellows Collaborating on Disability

As an Ashoka fellow, Al has begun to collaborate with other Ashoka fellows around the world who are engaged with people with disabilities. The first product of their work is a book which encompasses their thinking and practice.  Read the book online or download it by going to Ashoka's site.

From the preface by Bill Drayton:

"What is the most powerful force in the world?

It is always a big, pattern change idea…But only if it is in the hands of a great entrepreneur.

That is what has launched every major historic change.

Can those with disabilities be amongst these most powerful people? Of course! Many of Ashoka’s leading social entrepreneur Fellows are.

Every such social entrepreneur makes a mockery of the term “disability”. How can one even begin to think that a social entrepreneur is “disabled”?
