Brief Explanation

Coordown is the Italian organization that champions the rights of people with Down syndrome. On the 9th of February 2014, the organization received an email from a future mom: 'I'm expecting a baby with Down syndrome. I'm scared: what kind of life will my child have?' On World Down Syndrome Day, Coordown replied with a YouTube video. In the video, young adults with Down Syndrome respond to the mom's fears explaining all the ways her child will enjoy a full and fulfilling life: 'Dear future mom, don't be afraid...your child will be able to go to school...he'll be able to learn to write...he'll be able to work. Sometimes it will be difficult...almost impossible...but isn't it like that for all mothers?' The video ends with a message of hope for the mother: 'Your child can be happy. And you'll be happy too.'
