Better Life for Down´s students

Congratulations to Ian Garske and all Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Armidale Central, NSW, for helping the School to Down Syndrome Kids and Adults, in Londrina, Southern Brazil.

The kitchen at the school was adapted to the people with Down Syndrome and they are already having cooking classes, learning a profession and becoming independent in their homes. 

Many photos and the history of how this project started are all available at updownprojectbrazil.blogspot.com.br/ 

The Rotary Club of Armidale Central did a great job and is making a difference in these kids life. Mr Garske was the first one who believed in this project. I was an exchange student in Armidale in 1993 and Mr Garske was one of my host fathers almost two decades ago.
