Happy World Down syndrome Day!

Happy World Down syndrome Day
March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD).

The annual observance of WDSD aims to promote awareness and understanding of Down syndrome and related issues : and to mobilise support and recognition of the dignity, rights and well being of persons with Down syndrome.

Happy World Down syndrome Day Jan! Thank you for sharing this on your blog.

Thank you for reaching out to me years ago, for without you, I wouldn't have the job that I love so much now.

Enjoy your afternoon with Nash!
