It is about starting relationships and establishing rapport between people so that every person has the opportunity to have freely given friendships that develop over time, just as any relationship would.

Below are two examples of such a relationship between some very special people.

A new pair of Reeboks (Richard and Julie’s Story)

The Gift of Friendship (Lisa and Sarah’s story)
