World Down Syndrome Day
Please join DSNetwork in support of World Down Syndrome Day! To show your support, contribute a tax deductible donation of $21 or more by selecting this link.
March 21, 2011 marks the 6th anniversary of World Down Syndrome Day and each year the voice of people with Down syndrome, and those who live and work with them, grows louder. But there is still so much more we can do.
Down Syndrome International encourages our friends all over the World to choose your own themes, activities and events to help raise awareness of what Down syndrome is, what it means to have Down syndrome, and how people with Down syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities.
The internet is a powerful tool for raising awareness and we encourage people to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day through your own websites, blogs and social networking sites. However, we want to create a single meeting place where everyone can share their experiences and advertise their activities.
So please send information to us at [email protected] and we will share this with the rest of the World at our dedicated website www.worlddownsyndromeday.org.
Join our cause to create a single global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down Syndrome on March 21.
Melody bopped into the office, her face and other assorted body parts adorned with numerous studs, rings and barbells. Looking like she’d just fallen into a tackle box, she pointed to her chest, which sported TODD 4 EVER encircled by a large red heart. Unhooking her mouth she muttered, “I need to change TODD to TANYA.”
