Disability Dojo: The Four Philanthropists
Manage episode 341662701 series 2992290
On today’s dojo, Tony talks about having a growing awareness and frame of reference for how to best serve others. He reflects on his recent conversation with Eric Davis, sharing how he has been impacted by him and his work, without prior communications or correspondences. As a result, Tony expresses how it has influenced the way he sees the world. Eric’s openness was so authentic and illuminating during their conversation; his vision on how to serve people to the maximum, and his idea and vision, has Tony feeling entangled in his world.
Tony also shares his reflection through the story of The Four Philanthropists. He examines the importance of meeting the concrete needs of people and how Centers For Independent Living and agencies like St. Francis Home provides food, water, and temporary shelter for people that are homeless. He drives home the message that this is the first place we really need to start when working with people because if don’t have those physical and physiological needs met, its much more challenging to help in the other areas.
