I wonder whether the student has considered approaching Disability Now (www.disabilitynow.org.uk) about the opportunity to write an article on his experiences in China (he could also mention that he is seeking funding for a website in this).

Does anyone know if there is any funding for projects such as these? Any advice on getting into travel journalism (from a disability viewpoint) - I promised i would ask on his behalf - Kind regards, Paul (DO - Richmond College)
