Clean-up Needed

The text currently on this page needs further work. It was most likely imported or reproduced from a website associated with the subject of the page - possibly through a process involving far-from-perfect machine translation, often with awkward results. It is awaiting the attention of an experienced M3P editor, which could be you. It may be slightly out of date, or may need other elements taken care of appropriately, including proofreading or copy-editing for grammar and style.

In 1989 an unexpected invitation to Seeden once again sparked Camilleri’s interest in disability issues. This visit and increasing contact with the Kummissjoni Nazzjonali Persuni B’Dizabilita led to his becoming inspired by what is known as the Social Model of Disability, which, in turn, les ti a commitment to disability issues.
