HOW FREEDOM FROM SLAVERY CHANGED SOCIETY'S STEREOTYPES OF PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (1644 hits)

http://www.md-council.org/projects/rosewood_project.html
Hey Family,

I had to drop in today to share this awesome video. Please take 4.5 minutes to view it and give God the glory! Then get busy advancing the Kingdom of God for captives everywhere.

"Rosewood, Maryland’s oldest and largest institution for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, closed in 2009 after over 120 years of operation.

Departing Rosewood, a short documentary, follows one man’s journey from Rosewood to his own home in Washington County. This poignant story captures the challenges, hopes and transformations that occur as Steven departs Rosewood and creates a life in the community with new opportunities and new experiences.

The film will help change society's stereotypes of people with developmental disabilities and will be a useful educational and training tool.

2012 Regional Emmy Award Winner for Public/Current Affairs category "

Be thy brother's keeper (Amos 6:8 KJV/NIV).
