In July 1993, while on visit to some relatives in Belgium, Nicole Dercy had the opportunity to meet other physically disabled persons at Beauraing, There, she was struck by the attention and caring a woman was giving to a handicapped person. At first, Nicole thought that the latter was her child but she was astonished to find out that this woman was only a volunteer giving her love and attention to those in need. It was at that very moment that it flashed to Nicole’s mind that something must be done to the physically disabled of Mauritius.
