Celebrating World Down Syndrome Day 2012

Know what today is?  World Down Syndrome Day.  Watch this video and be blessed by the cutest smiles ever.


DOWN SYNDROME INTERNATIONAL PRESENTS THE GLOBAL VIDEO EVENT “LET US IN - I WANT TO LEARN!” IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 68 COUNTRIES FOR WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY 2012.
PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO AND HELP US CREATE A SINGLE GLOBAL VOICE FOR ADVOCATING FOR THE RIGHTS, INCLUSION AND WELL BEING OF PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME ON 21 MARCH.
THANK YOU!





Wondering why 2+1=3 was all over this video? 2 reasons!  It represents this day on the calendar but also the triplication of the 21st chromosome which causes the genetic condition Down syndrome.


The aim of the day is to raise awareness and understanding of a condition which affects approximately 1 in 800 births worldwide, and to promote the inherent rights of persons with Down syndrome to enjoy full and dignified lives and be active participants in their communities and society.



sweet brother Erik.  He adds joy to many lives by his kind and gentle manner.
