Hi everyone,
I was reading Pick Me Up and thought I'd look up the site. I am 21, I volunteer with the Down's Syndrome Association in Northern Ireland and I love it. I've met so many families since I became a volunteer last November and all the kids are different. I went away to a New Parents' Weekend which was for the parents to attend workshops on Makaton, health issues and suchlike. I had sole care of a little baby boy of 10 months and I had a brilliant time. I've been waiting for a job to come up in a charity like that but unfortunately there are none! I'm hoping to go on another of the parents' weekends next year.
I was away on an adventure holiday with some of the young people with Downs and they had a whale of a time on the boats, climbing walls and t-shirt printing.
I hope that everyone's OK with me being a menber even though I've no kids.
Thanks
Love Sara xx
