🌍💙 October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month in South Africa! 💙🌍

Throughout this month, we celebrate the incredible abilities, uniqueness, and contributions of individuals with Down syndrome. It’s a time to raise awareness, challenge stereotypes, and promote inclusion in every aspect of life.

📅 Today we observe National Down Syndrome Awareness Day, a moment to amplify voices, foster understanding, and encourage stronger support systems for individuals and their families.

At Friends Day Centre, we believe in creating a world where everyone is valued, respected, and given the opportunity to shine. ✨ Let’s stand together in building a more inclusive South Africa.

💛 Celebrate. 💙 Support. 💛 Include.

🌍💚 World Cerebral Palsy Day | Monday, 6 October 2025 💚🌍

Today, we join millions around the world in celebrating the 50 million people living with cerebral palsy (CP).

This year’s theme, “Millions of Reasons,” reminds us that every person with CP has a unique story, strength, and contribution that enriches our communities. ✨

At Friends Day Centre, we see these reasons every day, through laughter, determination, creativity, and the courage of our learners. 💪💖

Let’s raise awareness, break barriers, and advocate for greater inclusion and accessibility. Together, we can create a world where every voice is heard and every ability celebrated. 🌟
