BVI Will Rock Their Mismatched Socks for Down Syndrome Awareness
The British Virgin Islands is preparing for a vibrant celebration as the Social Development Department urges residents to “Rock Your Socks” tomorrow, March 21, in honour of individuals with Down Syndrome.
A colorful array of mismatched socks will adorn the islands, spreading awareness and challenging stereotypes surrounding this genetic condition.
Led by the Disability Services of the Social Development Department, the initiative aims to highlight the uniqueness and diversity of individuals with Down Syndrome.
Residents are encouraged to wear mismatched socks, capture moments through photographs, and share them on social media platforms, tagging the Disability Services’ Facebook page @disability-services-socialdevelopmentVI and using the hashtag #endthestereotype.
