In cooperation with the Association of Right to Life and donated by His RoyalHighness Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, Alwaleed BinTalal Foundation, IUG celebrated World Down Syndrome Day, to seek international support, and to achieve dignity, equal rights and a better life for people with Down syndrome everywhere.
21 March 2011 marks the 6th anniversary of World Down Syndrome Day and each year the voice of people with Down syndrome, and those who live and work with them, grows louder. But there is still so much more we can do.
Down Syndrome International encourages our friends all over the World to choose your own themes, activities and events to help raise awareness of what Down syndrome is, what it means to have Down syndrome, and how people with Down syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities.
The celebration was held at the central conferences hall of IUG in attendance of representatives from different institutions inside and outside the Gaza Strip as well as parents and families.
