Waking up this morning and reading the Vancouver Sun there was a great story about how we can learn from each other regardless of our abilities. The article on the front page was written by Pamela Fayerman on Kathleen and David Egan. Theirs is a story of a changing perception towards disability and realizing the contributions that one can make. You can find the original story here however I would suggest checking it out in Google Earth so you can see where the 9th World Down Syndrome Congress is being held in beautiful Vancouver British Columbia. If you don't yet have Google Earth you can download it here its free. Download the World Down Syndrome Congress Google Earth file here.
