It is the less privileged kids that get aChristmas party from me each year. A couple of years ago I did that for the mentally challenged and did not expect how well they participated.
This party was held at their own Institute. Their guardians I noticed worked hard for these kids which was evident from how disciplined they were. At the same time I could see their joy taking part in every activity.
It was a full day I spent with them. I noticed how some of them were talented specially the way they were dancing and singing.
The Institute gifted me with a bunch of artificial flowers that were created by these kids.They are precious to me.

Yes, a friend has a brother with Down’s syndrome and I used to spend a lot of time with him, the sweetest guy.
They have different talents and those who take care of them see to it that their talent is put to use.
I have worked with the mentally challenged for twenty years, its only recently that I took a break.
Wow!! That must have been a great experience.
Yes, as a teacher you come into contact with all kinds of people.
Were you a teacher? I have never taught
