Soela Zani is a photographer(摄影师) from Albani A. In 1988, a quiet boy lived next door to her. Born with Down's syndrome(唐氏综合征), the boy never spoke and seldom went outside because his parents felt shame to be seen with him.
"It was sad to see that,"Zani said."Now, people know differently. Children with Down's syndrome are lovely. We need to accept them as they are and give them a chance to succeed in life."
Zani wanted to do something for those lovely children, so she opened an exhibition(展览) last year at Albania's National Historical Museum. Photos of children with Down's syndrome were shown in the exhibition. In the photos, the children are copying poses(姿势) from famous paintings.
"When we opened the exhibition, the visitors enjoyed all the pictures. Many even started to cry in front of them. I was very touched,"Zani said,"These children are beautiful. They are pieces of art.This is my message. There is no difference between a child with Down's s yndrome and a child without it. They are the same. This exhibition is a present from me to them. Zani plans to take more photos of children with Down's syndrome and raise money for them.
