In addition, it would be a tool for inclusivity by engaging the members of the community in making everything possible.

“A society which discards those who are weak and non-productive risks exaggerating the development of reason, organization, aggression and the desire to dominate. It becomes a society without a heart, without kindness - a rational and sad society, lacking celebration, divided within itself and given to competition, rivalry and, finally, violence.”

-Jean Vanier, Founder of L’arche Community-
