World Down Syndrome Day

 





World Down Syndrome Day


March 21, 2010
 
Every year, on March 21 (to honor the 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome presented in Down syndrome), the world comes together to raise awareness and advocate for people living with Down syndrome.  Because Reece's Rainbow has an international focus, we are doing our part to further the recognition of this very special day! 
 
The primary focus of our ministry is to promote the international adoption and rescue of children with Down syndrome (and other special needs).  But our ultimate goal is to be a catalyst for social change abroad.  With every successful adoption, and now through our "Connecting the Rainbow" program, we hope to bring education and advocacy to those countries where people with disabilities are still left in orphanages and mental institutions.  
 
With your help, one day there will no longer be a need for Reece's Rainbow!
