Persons with the Down syndrome are in the first place people

To have a child affected by the Down syndrome at the beginning it means that parents
enter the world of fear and questions with no answers. But when we hold in our arms a
new born baby with Down syndrome, it might be our view full of fear and doubtness which
makes him different from the first time.

The aim of these lines is to help the family of individuals with Down syndrome to see their
son or daughter as one more simple person with the same possibilities, the same rights,
the same distinctions and with the necessary help so that all the mentioned before can
become possible.

*Warm as the sunrays They communicate with their milieu looking for an endless love and friendship, happy that can give love back to us.


*They need us, our support, our care, and then they will give their maximum. They will develop their personal experiences and will be able to overtake the supervision over their own life as much as it is possible.
