March 21st was celebrated as World Down Syndrome Awareness Day.

Down syndrome is not a disease that needs to be treated; it is a genetic difference. We are aware of this difference and are always with you.

The "Notice Me" event was organized by our association member, educator Faruk ŞİMŞEK, to highlight the potential for individuals with Down syndrome to contribute to society, develop their talents, and lead happy lives, as well as to raise social awareness and sensitivity. Individuals with Down syndrome played table tennis and folk dances, practiced shooting basketballs, and demonstrated their skills.
