My Little sister film and Gold arts Awards and thanks to Lois and...

I'm writing to thank Lois Taylor for generously travelling so far - distances, time and cost in Cornwall - and giving us of her time and talents, everyone participated in a really enjoyable workshop yesterday.

I am also researching Gold Arts Award as Falmouth Art Gallery have generously offered to support Anna and Annis in this if they choose to take it and the reason for this blog is how worlds cross over..
So on first glance Gold Awards are for 16 - 25 yr olds and Anna and Annis are 14 but on further looking i found this link and filmmaker Agi K who is 12 yrs old, she has completed the Gold Award and is also home educated and inspiring:

I find there’s so many depressing articles, videos and pictures on Down syndrome, and I want to make these films to show the happiness and joy Magdalena brings to our livesI don’t have to try, we’re not a ‘special family’ Magdalena’s not an angel, we just all love each other. And this is just our lives. Disability is natural, we just live our ordinary lives, and I want to show the world that pity or sadness has no place here!”

Anna has just shown me this video we really like this young American choreographer Kyle Hanagami
