Last year Mark Jones designed a Google Doodle proposal for World Down Syndrome Day. Although it wasn't used by Google, it still generated a lot of global attention. Now is the time to try again! ... you could help by emailing the doodle to Google, using this address: proposals@google.com
You can 'like', 'comment' and 'share' the Google Doodle on the Cayman Islands World Down Syndrome Day Facebook page (11th February), and a number of other Facebook pages.
