Jonathan Boulet-Groulx
Here is the harvest from the week I spent with Agape, the L’Arche community in the Outaouais (in Quebec, near Ottawa), November 5th to 10th, 2007. The goal of this photo essay was to witness the daily life of core members and to capture it in photographs. This was a happy collaboration involving L’Arche Quebec, L’Arche Canada, and me, Jonathan Boulet-Groulx. This is only the beginning, and I am confident that we will accomplish much through these efforts. Together, we can change/let’s change the image of developmental disability.
