MARK
Who is mark?
Mark is a happy man. He likes to sing and works during the week on the care farm in the east of the Netherlands. He has classic autism and an estimated IQ of 33. Mark certainly has his limitations, but also has opportunities. In the Netherlands there is space for his opportunities, in Africa it should be more challenging.
