Vadim is 16 years old, with Downs syndrome. When he first came to the Phoenix Centre he could not dress or wash himself. He soon learnt.
Now Vadim has become the older brother to other children in wheel- chairs, as he can help them. He does not leave the Centre until everyone is wheeled outside. When visitors arrive Vadim will run to take their coats and try to get them to play tennis.
Vadim never had any education, but as he liked to draw, the Centre staff asked him to start drawing some letters. In just 5 months he has already learnt the letters up to “o”.
His passion is drawing, tennis and dancing. At the recent Spring Festival he was given the important place of playing the guitar. He would love to stay at the Centre and not go home at all.
