Mbali na kuwaheshimu watu wenye ugonjwa wa Down na Quincy Jones Tuzo la Kipekee la Utetezi<\/a>, Global Down Syndrome Foundation is proud to honor individuals with Down syndrome each year as official Ambassadors for Foundation. Ambassadors and their families work hard to raise awareness for the Foundation\u2019s mission of significantly improving the lives of people with Down syndrome through research, medical care, education and advocacy.  Each Ambassador graces the cover of our Be Beautiful Be Yourself gala invitation and writes his or her own personal story.  The story is featured in the local press and as part of the invitation.  The Ambassador is also featured in a special video our Foundation produces for the marquee fundraising event and depending on the Ambassador\u2019s age, the Ambassador participates as a model in the fashion show.<\/p>\n

Mabalozi na familia zao wanaendelea kuunga mkono kazi ya Foundation kwa kuwakilisha wakfu katika makongamano na makongamano, kuchangisha fedha kwa ajili ya programu na warsha, kushiriki katika mahojiano na wanahabari, na kutetea usawa na usaidizi wa serikali.<\/p>\n

Hajawahi kukutana na mtu asiyemfahamu na ana haraka ya kusema \u201cHujambo!\u201d, hasa ikiwa mtu anayepokea simu bado hajamtambua.<\/p>\n
