In an effort for our children to develop a better understanding about what Down Syndrome is, we had a very special speaker from the Down Syndrome Association of Singapore.
The guest speaker introduced by reading a book on Down Syndrome. During the session, the children asked many questions out of curiousity and the guest speaker was more than happy to answer them.
The guest speaker also shared about the daily challenges faced by people with Down Syndrome, and the lack of awareness in our society. During the talk, the children also learned and suggested ways to be polite, respectful and how we can be kind.
At the end of the talk, the children were encouraged to share about what they had learned to their family members and friends as well. What a fruiful learning session that was!
