00:00
Good morning, Port. My name is Mrs. Yankovsky, or...
00:11
Benjamin Lyman.
00:13
And Anne Hugo.
00:15
I'm here today to share my passion for spreading the message of mobility versus disability.
00:23
March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day, chosen because it represents the 21st chromosome,
00:29
which people with Down syndrome have three copies of instead of two.
00:37
Ivan has something to share. Please be...
00:42
Please be quiet.
00:45
Today we are honoured to have a very special guest with us as we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day.

Down syndrome is a condition that affects many people worldwide.
02:27
It occurs when a person has an extra chromosome, which can affect their development and learning.
02:32
But it's important to remember that people with Down syndrome are just like everyone else.
02:36
They have dreams, passions, and talents that make them unique.
02:40
Let's celebrate their abilities, not just their challenges.
02:43
And remember that inclusion and kindness go such a long way to making our world a better place.
02:49
As part of today's celebration, Ivan would like to invite you all down to join him at lunch for a fun and meaningful activity.
02:56
We're going to clean up the school grounds, keeping our environment beautiful.
03:00
Bring your energy and enthusiasm, and let's make a difference together.
03:04
Afterward, we'll all enjoy some iceboxes as a thank you for helping out.
