Today, Rotarians recognized World Down Syndrome Day. This event is commemorated annually on March 21st to raise awareness about Down Syndrome.
Down syndrome is caused by an extra partial (or full) copy of chromosome 21 in an individual. Although the cause of Down syndrome is unknown, it has always been a part of the human condition.
The theme for this year's World Down Syndrome Day is #InclusionMeans
It emphasises the need for worldwide awareness and discussion about Down Syndrome, which will enable people all across the world to campaign for full inclusion of people with Down syndrome and disabilities in society.
