ReplyDeleteWhat a positive, inspiring, ray of light you are!
I recently taught the disabilities awareness merit badge to our group of boys scouts. During the process we needed to meet with people with disabilities, so we arranged to meet with a fellow boy scout troop with special needs sponsored by ARC.
Afterwards, ironically, the ARC troop asked me to help them also with the disabilities awareness merit badge. There I sat, teaching a group of fine people, that just happened to have disabilities, about disability awareness. Long story short, we discussed how everyone has disabilities. Some may be more obvious than others, but in the end we all have plenty of great attributes to work with and smile about!
Thanks for sharing the Soares family story and being a much-needed positive force in the world.
Take care,
Kent
