This is awesome!!! Video's of people with Down syndrome from around the world living their lives. Talking, cooking, cleaning dishes, swimming, riding bikes, acting, etc.. I've got chills and tears of joy from watching these videos. Check it out: (just click on the different flags to see each countries video) http://www.showdown.name/ Enjoy! __________________ ~Jenna Proud mamma to these beauts!!!

They are all great, but I'll mention a few. Quick Summary of some of the videos: Russia - more athletic Italy - It's nice and has a romantic ending Canada - is more like a documentary (brought a few tears to my eyes) New Zealand - is cute, living an independent life Greece - is upbeat and uplifting __________________ ~Jenna Proud mamma to these beauts!!!

Jenna, I looked at everyone I was captivated by them all...my favorite was the girl from Italy! She's a hoot! I just love her expressions!!! I'm going to pass that along to my friends!! __________________ Carmen "The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears: they cannot utter the one, nor will they utter the other."

Vonda - It does take a while, but it's well worth the time. I haven't watched all of Vietnam yet, I have to go watch it when the kids are napping. It's so great to hear how enthusiastic your girls are about this. I hope Nate is too. [Edited by Jenna on 03-21-2006 at 12:27 PM] __________________ ~Jenna Proud mamma to these beauts!!!

The Russian gymnast was brilliant, it just goes to show what our kids can achieve if they are taught a skill! __________________ Diane & Owen 28/12/03 DS

It was so neat to see so many people all over the world so active and living typical lives.
