Eldana Werkneh | 5 YEARS OLD
I want to say that kids with Down syndrome are blessings they are very active and smart. I don’t want parents not to be afraid to raise them with the society and not to be ashamed of them.
Also I believe the society don’t have enough information about Down syndrome, for that parents have the responsibility to share information about everything they know to their community.
