World Down Syndrome Day 2019 – Day 18
My name is Naomi Lake and I live in Albany, Western Australia. I used to live on a farm when I was young, I loved watching the chickens scratching around the farmyard and holding baby chicks. It gave me inspiration to write the stories about Harmony.
I have published my first children’s book titled Harmony the Forgetful Hen and the Lost Eggs.

Owen’s parents are proud of his three big sisters for the role they play in their baby brother’s life and the role he will play in theirs. A lovely tribute to their four children.
“We watch you walk by and give him a quick kiss, his hair a quick scruff or just quietly lie down next to him and hold his hand. We love that you include him in all your play and activity and ensure he is part of everything you do in some way and do so simply because you want to.”

World Down Syndrome Day 2019 – Day 14
My name is Katie Senior and I would like to tell you about something I have done that makes me feel very proud.
On the 8th of September 2018 I was asked to present a dance and drama performance called “That Extra ‘Some” at @TEDxCanberra. This was a piece I had developed in 2017 with my mentor @LizLeadance for the Ignite Creatives Project run by the Belconnen Art Centre and tries to show with film, dance and voice the experience of life with an extra chromosome.
