Hear the Children Laughing

Hear the Children Laughing is a dance of diverse stories. Tales from the 'helped' and the 'helpers' are woven to give a larger and more human picture of what ordinary folk have been doing to counter discrimination. The stories come from many corners of the world - a Sudanese refugee camp, tribal Indian projects, an Ethiopian military hospital, Cambodian minefields, Mexican mountain villages and slums, Australian First Nation communities and a nursing home. Based on the experience of the author as a physiotherapist and aid worker, the stories weave a poignant tapestry.
