Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome... |

Boy, born October 2002
This handsome boy was abandoned shortly after his birth. However, his mother returned for him soon afterwards and ended up giving him to an orphanage where he has lived ever since.
David has what may be permanent damage to his optic nerve. An accurate determination of just how much he can actually see cannot be made given the limited diagnostics and expertise available in-country. He has never attended school due to his visual handicap. He is an otherwise healthy little boy.
Richard is about 9 or 10 years old and is hearing impaired.
It was thought at first that he was completely deaf, but his caretakers believe he does have some hearing intact. He will need to be evaluated by a specialist to fully determine what he can and cannot hear.
