11 WDSC, Capetown, Day 2

The second post on the 11th World Down Syndrome Congress (currently proceeding in Capetown) on the Global Down Syndrome Foundation's blog is from Patti McVay. She writes about the differences between the first and third world experiences of people with Down syndrome and their families. The location of the Congress in Africa opens it up to different (and often sobering) perspectives, from countries we do not hear from often. Patti McVay's observations are also reflected in the daily postings on the WDSC Facebook community page from yesterday.
