I like reading stories like this one from Vietnam.
Watching blind, hearing-impaired and Downs Syndrome children who can practice difficult movements like normal kids, Aikido master Nguyen Thi Thanh Loan was very happy. She said: “I’m very surprised when they have made great progress. When I opened this class, my goal was to help them have good health and joy in life. But now they can stand firmly on their feet and can perform Aikido very well.” Source: VietnamNet
