Thanks to Deb & Marilyn for sharing this inspirational post with us:

A pregnant mother recently sent an email to CoorDown, Italy's national organization for people with Down syndrome. The future mom had learned her unborn son had the genetic disorder, and she was scared.
"What kind of life will my child have?" she asked.

Saatchi & Saatchi Italy took that email as the starting point for this wonderful new ad for World Down Syndrome Day, in which 15 people with Down syndrome respond to the future mom, giving her a better idea of what to expect—the joys and the challenges—when her son arrives.

This is Saatchi's third year of working with CoorDown. Its last two campaigns won 11 Lions at Cannes for the agency. This year's theme for World Down Syndrome Day, on March 21, is the right to happiness and well-being for people with Down syndrome. The goal is to promote a culture of diversity and integration in society, especially at school and work.

"Everyone has the right to be happy," says the new spot's on-screen tagline.

A heartwarming message from 15 people with Down syndrome to a future mom.
