Lisa is ten years old．She is disabled because she has brain damage．She could not do even the simplest thing until a year ago．She could not comb her hair or feed herself．Her parents loved her．And they treated her like a baby．
Mr Ching has a daughter and a son．They are both grown．They live far from their father．Mr Ching felt lonely．He decided to become a foster grandfather to a disabled child．And that was how he met Lisa．
Foster grandparents are grandparents who are not related by birth but foster grandparents love the children they care for．They also help the disabled children in special ways．They help to dress and feed the children．They read to them and tell them stories．They also help with disabled children's therapy．Therapy is the treatment of a disease or disorder．It helps the children overcome their disabilities．
Mr．Ching became a foster grandparent to Lisa when she was nine years old．At first, Lisa was shy．She was afraid because Mr．Ching was a stranger．But he came to see her every day．Gradually she began to trust him．At last Lisa let Mr．Ching do things for her．
Ching speaks for most foster grandparents when he says,“We all benefit(获益)．The disabled children benefit because we help them live more useful lives．And we benefit because we know the children need us and love us．For any person，there's no greater happiness than that!

Which five things do foster grandparents do for handicapped children?
It was a simple letter asking for a place to study at Scotland's oldest university which helped start a revolution in higher education．A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers．Written by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page document, which urged the university to allow women to study medicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Women's Day．
The document was discovered buried in the university archives(档案)by part-time history student Lis Smith, who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical Research．She said：“We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university medical education for women, had written to the Senatus Academicus(校评议委员会)at St Andrews in an attempt to gain permission to attend classes there, but we didn't know documentary evidence existed．While searching the archives for information about the university's higher certificate for women, I was astonished to come across what must be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote．”
In the letter, Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a medical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjects not already covered at St Andrews．Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for women．The qualification, which ran from 1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted as students．It was so popular that it survived long after women were admitted as full students to St Andrews in 1892．
Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874．She was accepted by the University of Berne, where she was awarded a medical degree in January 1877．Eventually, she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice．
