Thanks Pat. I spent my life in social development sector: studying various models. What you say is correct. New models are needed even in the field of stammering awareness. In TISA (The Indian Stammering Association) we are doing something like that. The PWS learns the self help package from a core team, returns to their city and starts a self help group. We provide technical inputs, encouragement and some supervision. So far we have done it within India. Someday, we wish to serve neighboring countries too. For example- I am in touch with a PWS family in Lahore, Pakistan (over skype); a Sri Lankan girl attended one of our workshops and is in regular touch. She is studying in Bangladesh. So, instead of raising funds and hosting an international conference, we would rather spend our resources judiciously in reaching out to PWS in the neighboring countries, which often share similar socio-cultural character and are in desperate need for some/ any help. Do let me know more about your ideas.. Thanks again!
