Book excerpt: What would we actually see, if we lifted the rug and peered under it? This book is our attempt to do just that. Beneath the Rug brings you through 30 stories in 30 days. You will hear from social workers, Special Education teachers, youth workers, counsellors, residential care workers, policymakers, a person with disability, and others. As you listen, you will realise that every story has a conflict, every conflict has a context, and every context reveals a conundrum. It is our sincere hope that as the stories in this book reveal what lies beneath the rug, it will also nudge all of us towards greater understanding, deeper reflection, and more meaningful engagement with our communities.
