Down Syndrome International (DSI) has officially earmarked
21 March as World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD). The date was chosen
to signify the uniqueness of Down syndrome in the triplication
(trisomy) of the 21st chromosome and is used synonymously
with Down syndrome.
As Singapore has been selected
to launch the inaugural WDSD, Down Syndrome Association (Singapore)
will be commemorating the occasion on Tuesday, 21 March 2006
with a series of events and activities. DSI members and related
organisations worldwide will be encouraged to observe the
WDSD together with the community in an appropriate manner.
Regional countries are invited to send participants to Singapore
to participate in the events which are expected to draw widespread
coverage and exposure on Down syndrome.
