'I Have a Voice'

Traveling exhibit features local children with Down syndrome, their families

“I Have A Voice.”

Not only is it the name of the traveling gallery presented by the Des Moines’ Gigi’s Playhouse and local photographer Amy Doerring that soon will be coming to Newton, but it’s exactly what the project manifested in three local families.

The Davises, Simons and Bratlands all share one common experience in that they have children who were born with Down syndrome and have received support throughout the years via Gigi’s Playhouse.
