It is good if people with a responsibility do [some] manual work, whether this is washing up or cooking the occasional meal. This keeps their feet on the ground and ensures they get their hands dirty. It creates new relationships; those who work with them see them as people and not just as functionaries. (Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 228, L'Arche Canada | L'Arche Canada Foundation | Jean Vanier Online)
