Hello from Hesperian, publishers of Where There Is No Doctor and other books on health. Sorry if this is a crossposting -- we’re writing to let you know that the new, updated edition of our benchmark book on community-based rehabilitation, Disabled Village Children<http://www.hesperian.org/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=HB&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=B040>, has just arrived, and it’s now available for free download<http://www.hesperian.org/publications_download.php>\.
As people with disabilities assert their right to participate in a more just society, Disabled Village Children provides tools that allow children with disabilities to develop more self-confidence and self-reliance. We recently received a letter demonstrating how a boy named Jaime in El Salvador used Disabled Village Children to help fulfill his dream of attending school -- for the full story, please see our blog<http://hesperian.typepad.com/weblog/2009/07/disabled-village-children-inspires-change-in-el-salvador-.html>\.
"Disabled Village Children is beautiful as well as extremely useful." -USAID
Helping Children Who Are Blind, Helping Children Who Are Deaf, and A Health Handbook for Women with Disabilities are also available for free download. If you’re considering helping a community in need by having us send a disabled children’s gift set in your name, or someone else’s name.
