"Social adjustment is a lifelong process. We change lives. We make a difference and grow ourselves in this adjustment process also."

   " I look at a stream and I see myself:
a native South African, flowing irresistibly
over hard obstacles until they become smooth and, one day, disappear -- flowing from an origin that
has been forgotten toward an end that
will never be. "

--Miriam Makeba.
