Being Me: Rufus

Living in Kaikoura with his parents has been great for 23-year-old Rufus Henry, but he is ready to spread his wings and follow in his siblings’ footsteps by moving out and living independently. He loves his lifestyle in Kaikoura, where he has a job and is well-known in the tight-knit community. But living in a small town with Down Syndrome has meant that Rufus hasn’t had many chances to meet people like himself. On a road trip to Christchurch he meets some new friends and gets a taste of life in the big city.
