Tech trip

So we are travelling this week through some central cities of Ecuador for special education technical training. It's exciting because I get to learn more about what a disability means to ecuadorians. So far, it has been interesting. On a positive note they are trying to incorporate inclusion because right now there are only general education schools and special education schools. They have a lot of laws but it is the putting into practice that is a little more difficult here. Also, I feel horrible because nothing is handicapped accessible here. Most buildings, buses, and houses can not be entered by certain people with disabilities. Hopefully, I will be able to help my community in what is best for them. There is tons to do, so I have options : )

    You're just a fool
    Just a fool
    To believe you can change the world
    Don't listen to them when they say
    You're just a fool
    Just a fool
    To believe you can change the world
    Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
    Love is alive
    Don't listen to them when they say
    You're just a fool
    Just a fool
    To believe you can change the world

    The worlds so big it could break your heart
    And you just wanna help
    But not sure where to start
    so you close your eyes
    Send up a prayer into the dark

    You're just a fool
    Just a fool
    To believe you can change the world
    Don't listen to them when they say
    You're just a fool
    Just a fool
    To believe you can change the world
    Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
    Love is alive
    Don't you listen to them when they say
    You're just a fool
    Just a fool
    To believe you can change the world
