World Down Syndrome Day

in down •  7 years ago 

March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day. On this day, persons with Down syndrome, with their friends, families and supporters hope to raise public awareness and advocate for their rights, inclusion and well-being.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon said on 21 March 2012 "On this day, let us reaffirm that persons with Down syndrome are entitled to the full and effective enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms. Let us each do our part to enable children and persons with Down syndrome to participate fully in the development and life of their societies on an equal basis with others. Let us build an inclusive society for all.”

Please join Jasmine and our family in celebrating this day!
