As someone who has worked for years in the non-profit sector, I can speak for how self-absorbed and useless the vast majority of them are. Now that I've gone global, I can say the same to an even higher degree for a nasty little entity called the NGO. So it is with complete shock and admiration that I sing the praises of a organization here in Jordan named the Al-Hussein Society. They work with children with physical disabilities through rehabilitation, a school, a prothesis manufacturing plant, and even mobile clinics. It is a fantastic place where kids with a tough lot in life come to learn and laugh with each other. After graduating in the 5th grade, the students are mainstreamed into the public school system. Pretty progressive in the US, and downright amazing here. Visit the center's website by clicking here.
