colonywas built to provide a shelter for those people who were poor
and had various physical disabilities. At noon a gong (a metal disk
that produces a sound when hit with a hammer) sounded to gather the
inhabitants for the middaymeal. People came from all parts of the
compound to the dining hall. Suddenly, everyone started laughing at
seeing two young men, one riding on the other's back, pretending to be
a horse and a rider. They were having lots of fun. As the visitor
watched, he was told that the man who carried his friend was blind,
and the man being carried was lame (who couldn't walk). The one who
couldn't see used his feet; the one who couldn'twalk used his eyes.
Together they helped eachother and reached their destination.
Let us use each other's strengths to make up for the weaknesses of
others. Our strength is in unity, not in division.
