It also doesn't take too much of a leap of imagination to see how things can be more problematic in the developing world. <em>Motivation's </em>'Wheels Out of Poverty' 20th anniversary campaign leaflet (available for download on the <a href="http://www.harris.gb.net/Downloads/files/Wheels%20out%20of%20Poverty%20Lo.pdf" rel="nofollow">downloads page</a>) gives the following succinctly stark examples J H Age 17, 2 years in bed – reliant on care of parents NG Age 10, Unable to sit straight – needs support – risk of scoliosis CL Age 24, chronic bladder infection - Deceased Like I say, hopefully I can add some context along the way. The trip will be fun for sure, but I'm glad that we've found something of wider value to add to it!
