2010 Awareness Calendar! Order yours today! Our 2010 Down syndrome awareness calendar was inspired first by our children with Down syndrome and second by the wisdom of Mother Teresa. Her messages are universal, non-denominational and filled with love, just like ours - check out our new calendar to see how we are sharing these messages! The kids are featured in a way you've never before seen them! These make great gifts - order yours today by clicking HERE.
