and the theme is “Celebrating Diversity”, chosen by Down Syndrome International (DSI), a federation of international organizations and individuals committed to all people with Down syndrome.
World Down Syndrome Day events are planned in Singapore, the UK, Israel, France/Europe, Malaysia, Nepal, Sweden, Oman, Poland and the United States.
Today’s date, 3/21, is significant because people with Down syndrome have 3 chromosomes at the 21st position. For this reason, Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy-21. To learn more about Down syndrome, go here.
In honor of today, here’s this:
