HAPPY WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY
Yippeeeeeeeee, the much awaited day is here!
In the past 20 days, we’ve had conversations about Down Syndrome. We told you ways to identify and manage it.
In summary, DS is the most common chromosomal disorder. It is not a disease, neither is it hereditary.
Biby Yinkere, Convener of The Engraced Ones celebrating persons with Down Syndrome live at the World Down Syndrome Day Conference in Washington DC.
We discussed common stereotypes and established that individuals born with the condition can be integrated into society, marry, and be gainfully employed. In addition, we told you that they hate labels and name-calling.
We discussed issues related to their IQ, which is often lower than expected. However, we shared stories of people who are thriving and undeterred. During this period, we discussed the health conditions they are prone to encounter.
Above all, we drew the attention of parents and caregivers to the prayer tool, which grants divine enablement and grace for an extraordinary journey.
We are unapologetic about the fact that everyone has the responsibility of care for our champions.
Happy World Down Syndrome Day from all of us at The Engraced Ones.
