SUMMARY:World Down Syndrome Day
DESCRIPTION:World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st gives people with Down Syndrome and their advocates a voice and an opportunity to be heard. It’s a day where we assemble and organize activities to promote public awareness for the genetic disorder. The goal is to educate others on the importance of supporting our friends and family who have directly and indirectly experienced life with Down syndrome. \n\n\n \n#WorldDownSyndromeDay\nDown syndrome is a naturally occurring chromosomal arrangement that has always been a part of the human condition. It exists in all regions globally and commonly affects learning styles\, physical characteristics\, and overall health. In order to ensure proper growth and development\, social learning programs support and integrate with anyone who has Down syndrome. \nEvery year\, their voices grow louder\, and they influence government policy\, becoming more empowered. Through events around the world\, people with Down syndrome can ensure their own advocacy and be included in their communities. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY\n\nCheck if your local school offers any volunteer opportunities in their Integrated Learning Center.\nJoin local events or share yours.\nJoin their #LotsOfSocks fundraising campaign.\nCreate your own fundraising campaign.

SUMMARY:National Common Courtesy Day
DESCRIPTION:National Common Courtesy Day on March 21st serves as a reminder of the behavior that keeps society from melting into a sea of madness. In addition\, the day brings awareness to how crucial common courtesy is in our lives and provides examples to help us improve. \n\n\n \n#CommonCourtesyDay\nIn the Merriam-Webster dictionary\, courtesy is described as a: behavior marked by polished manners or respect for others: courteous behavior b: a courteous and respectful act or expression. \nCommon courtesy can be as simple as saying “please” and “thank you” when asking for and receiving a service\, gift\, or assistance. Kindness and courtesy go a long way and are noticed by others even if you do not realize it. Letting someone in front of you in traffic is easy. Hold open a door for someone or give a person a hand with his groceries. Give up your seat on the bus to someone who might need it. Introduce yourself to the new employee or kid at school and take the time to introduce them to the rest of the crew. \nA polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit\, as a rude friend is to protect. – Bryant H. McGill \nThese examples provide a glimpse into how you can infuse courtesy into your life. Momentary deeds of courtesy may be incremental\, but they might make a huge difference in someone’s life. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE COMMON COURTESY DAY\n\nIf common courtesy is not a part of your daily routine\, make Common Courtesy Day your opportunity for change.\nStart implementing courtesy into your life.\nTry it; not only will others appreciate it\, but you will feel good about it\, too.\nShow your appreciation for the common courtesy you experience.\nUse #CommonCourtesyDay to post on social media.\n\nSource Link
