If you are looking for inspiration, seek out folk heroes like John Pounds. Though crippled and no more than a cobbler, he had one of the 'big ideas' of his age (200 years ago). He began teaching poor children for free and became the progenitor of England's 'ragged schools.' To keep his spirit alive, Portsmouth's Unitarians have rebuilt his workshop in their garden. [2011]
