Provide therapy to 50 disabled children in India

March 21 was designated as World Down Syndrome Awareness Day.  In order to create awareness about Down Syndrome, a small get together for parents, staff and children was organized on 21^st March at our centre, to celebrate the World Down Syndrome Awareness Day. The Centre was decorated with blue and yellow balloons. All the parents, staff and children wore blue & yellow dress. Blue is a colour that spreads happiness and yellow creates a feeling of energetic quality in the body and mind.  When the yellow is mixed with the blue, it shows a mix of dependability and perseverance with optimism and a bright future ahead of these children with Down Syndrome with their help and support, and hopefully ours. Ramp walk of the children was arranged which was enjoyed by all.  Some of the parents shared their life experiences and spread positive energy among the other parents. The environment was filled with hope for bright future and enthusiasm among all the people who were present there on the occasion.

As part of our awareness programs, Paintings were made  by our children with Down Syndrome  at the centre and these paintings were displayed at an event – “National Conference on Down Syndrome”, which was on 25^th March organized by a National Trust, (National Trust is a statutory body of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India). The art work done by our little artistes - child artists - Aahil, Aspak Ali, Sneha, Kasak, Rishabh and Dhruvika was very much appreciated by the visitors of the event. Two staff members & few parents attended the conference which was very informative with different awareness sessions on Down Syndrome.
