We don’t count chromosomes! 

Let’s get people talking about WDSD on 21 March 2019! How? By wearing #LotsOfSocks and MBCs employees did this!

On this day people all over the world are encouraged to choose their own 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.

This year, the theme of the World Down Syndrome Day was: "Leave No-one Behind." It intends to emphasize that the ones with the Down syndrome should not be excluded from education and employment. 

1 in every 800 is born with the Down Syndrome. We should never leave them behind!
