Now we know Down syndrome is one of the rare conditions that can be diagnosed from the point of pregnancy. This has led to several debates around the 🌎
In Ireland abortion of these pregnancies is highly recommended. Now we have literate adults with DS like Heidi (pls follow her on social media) making a strong case to end the abortion of such pregnancies.
That’s why I asked the question last night, if you knew you were carrying a special child would you have opted to keep the pregnancy?
I met this young man on social media four years ago.
Two years into this relationship he sent my Mimi girl a beautiful Garden which was an expression of her present and future. Mimi loved her garden and held on to some of the objects in it so dearly
We finally got to meet in person. I told him he was much younger and handsome than the pictures I’d seen of him.
Be calming down! I’ll make the necessary introduction.
So, this man is making impact training young people with diverse abilities to convert waste into wealth by using recyclables Now this is of particular interest to me because I happen to work in an Environmental Agency.
Oh did I mention I saw for the first time in my life how Belts and Side-stools are made? It’s funny I had never bothered to think about how alot of things happen.
Things are happening to my mind. Learning is taking place in me.
I’m grateful to be in this ‘certain place’.
Please don’t ask me where yet.
Ops! I almost forgot my promise to make the introduction.
It’s the BEADGOD!!!
It had to be him, changing people, touching lives.
Growing Drive for knowledge from the right source!
So today I was thrilled by the number of interns like myself in this ‘certain place’. Aside from the fact that I saw learning taking place in diverse ways, the determination of parents to take the lead in the education and multifaceted training of their children with additional needs stood out for me.
Today in this certain place, we were part of a Conference on Oral Health and Mimi got a clean bill. She handles her mouth-cleaning routine all by herself!
Please pray along with us to find purpose and take a positive leap.
We’re a work in progress. Our children made a good attempt at shoemaking and that makes a world of difference to our team at the School of Grace, the Educational Arm of the Engraced Ones.
We believe strongly that our kids are trainable and have great potential if only they can be exposed to the right information and skills put together in a way they can understand.
This dream to expose our children to shoemaking was made possible by HIGHBEEKY’S CREATION, a small scale enterprise owned by Ms Blessing Adesina, a young enterprising Accountant.
