My
Dear Friends,
In my role as President of Down Syndrome International, I
wish everybody a lively and effective World Down Syndrome
Day on March 21st. I send my thanks and best wishes to all
those in the world with Down syndrome, who provide such a
valuable contribution to our world, enriching our lives and
understanding. This is the day to celebrate their abilities.
It is hoped that this day will gradually become better known
and celebrated world wide to enhance people’s knowledge and
appreciation of people with Down syndrome. It is a pleasure
to see the different ways in which countries are celebrating
the day. We hope by sharing these ideas and events it will
provide ideas and inspiration for more countries each year
to acknowledge the day.
I send our thanks to Singapore for again hosting this website
and sharing the news from each country. It takes a few years
for a new idea to catch the imagination and encourage participation.
We hope that next year even more countries and organizations
will participate and plan an event for March 21st.
I look forward to hearing from many of you with ideas of how
to increase world community knowledge or just to include your
good wishes for this day.
