On Monday, January 12th, Executive Director Barry Fox-Quamme was welcomed with warm hearts by the CEO, staff and board chair for a visit to the Donegal CIL in Letterkenny, Donegal County, Ireland.

We exchanged our visions of The Independent Living Movement around the world, and the peer based work we share across cultures.

The inspiration from the charge "Think globally, act locally" came alive on so many levels during our visit!

Thanks to everyone at DCIL for their inspiring work to continue to fan the flames of our work in The Independent Living Movement!
