World Down Syndrome Day

from the NDSS website
World Down Syndrome Day was established in 2006 by Down Syndrome International, with the goal of raising awareness and mobilizing support and recognition of the dignity, rights and well-being of people with Down syndrome across the world. March 21, the 21st day of the third month of the year, was chosen to symbolize the third copy of chromosome 21 present in Trisomy 21, the most common form of Down syndrome. This year, World Down Syndrome Day is especially significant as it is the first time that the day will be officially observed by the United Nations.

The Down Syndrome Foundation of South Texas invites you to Do Something Extra by taking a few minutes out of your day to learn something about Down syndrome that you did not know before.  In the future, we hope to prepare something special on this day to celebrate the individuals with Down syndrome that are so special to us!
