It was a day of fun, indoor and outdoor games, sharing of experiences between parents, a short talk show with medical experts, all sorts of price giving time and just a general have fun day for all..Our gratitude to all corporate sponsors and individuals who have made it such a perfect day for so many people.
ISDI (Ikatan Sindroma Down Indonesia or Indonesian Down syndrome Society) was formally established on 21 st April 1999. A non-profit support group of parents, medical professions, special-needs experts, teachers, and all of those who have deep concern.
We, as parents are very concerned of the future of children with Down syndrome in Indonesia especially when little is done to support them by the government or other non-profit organizations.
We so look forward towards a better future by sharing our experiences and supporting each other in our monthly gatherings. This way we gain knowledge and our children benefit from our experiences.
