[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 680810, member: 11791"] We got almost nothing from the school system. A tiny bit from the mental health system - part of which was detrimental, part of which helped. We have some good NGOs here - true do-gooder organizations that have a genuine focus on helping [I]a particular cause[/I]. Down's syndrome, for example. They really do good things for and with these kids. Without a separate agenda. What the do-gooders get from what they put in, is that they ARE SEEN as really good do-gooders. Lots of approval and appreciation and pats on the back. Some use their work in these organizations to build political contacts for later use; most of us don't mind this either as long as they keep politics out of their do-gooder activities. But if your needs can't be met by a single-cause organization... there is nothing. [/QUOTE]
