Profile of Down Syndrome

Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra 21 chromosome resulting in the disrupt of growth of the developing baby. It is named after John Langdon Down the British doctor who described the syndrome 1866, the disorder was identified as extra chromosome 21 by Jerome Lejeune in 1959; the condition is characterized by a combination of major and minor differences in structure. Often Down syndrome is associated with some impairment of cognitive ability physical growth as well as facial appearance; Down syndrome in a baby can be identified with amniocentesis during pregnancy or at birth.

In Uganda people born with Down syndrome all have learning disability and impairment of some sort. Children have significant hearing problem and problem with vision are even more common. Chances of developing thyroid disease, senile dementia and heart problems are relatively high.

Accurate figures of the number of people born with Down syndrome and also affected with Hiv/Aids who have learning disability and impairment of some sort have not been accurate. It is in recent years when Dosau is attempting to record babies from 2 years up to 36 years born with Down syndrome and also affected with Hiv/Aids in Dosau operation areas in Uganda.

The number of babies born with Down syndrome each year in Uganda is certainly high with probably 1 in 1000 of babies born have Down syndrome. This occurs in families from all social, economic, cultural, religious and racial back ground.
People born with Down syndrome, Hiv/Aids and PWDS in Uganda are neglected by their parents/relative and communities because of negative attitude, cultural beliefs most of which are suspected to guilty, for example in most Ugandan tribes, producing a child with PWD is associated with witchcraft, sexual immorality, parents have not attended to the spirits of ancestors, a curse from God; hence calling for awareness intervention so that people’s attitude can change and include PWDS at all level.
Reluctance or unwillingness of some societies to integrate them in the mainstream of Education, Employment, Health, inclusion in policy decision making, conductive environment such as accessible building, toilets, geographical location, others are locked inside the houses, others who are to say something can’t be allowed to contribute because of the negative attitudes already developed; hence, found it necessary for general awareness so that they can know that disability is not inability.
The project is necessary to bring back all PWDS who have been bounded by poverty, staying along streets begging, those who have no chance of sharing knowledge and skills with the rest of the members since they are perceived as useless people who can’t perform any activity, it’s against this back ground that made Dosau to come up with this
Down’s syndrome Association of Uganda (Dosau) trained mobilizers oppose for photos from Dosau operation areas.
Down’s syndrome Association of Uganda (Dosau) means of transport being used, the organization needs more means of transport to easy its activities, the organization only has one means of transport.

Thanks

I just wanted to add a potential health resource for facilitators and educators of the Deaf. During our time as Peace Corps volunteers in Kenya, we developed a interactive HIV/AIDS quiz developed to teach Deaf Kenyans. For those doing HIV/AIDS education and have access to a computer, this tool might be a great supplement to your curriculum. It is a free product and we would even be happy to mail you a CD version as with all the videos it’s a big download. To learn more about it visit: http://smartquiz.mindfulinteractive.com

Thank you for your interest. However, please understand that there is no association between We Can Do and the many conferences, opportunities, resources, organizations, etc. publicized at the blog. This blog is NOT an organization. We Can Do is merely a conduit for passing along information from a great many sources. It is operated entirely by one person –me. And I do this entirely in my own free time, outside of my many other obligations. I receive zero funding for this activity and have zero funding of my own. Consequently, I am unable to assist directly or respond to individual inquiries. Instead, I encourage you to explore the We Can Do blog on your own at http://wecando.wordpress.com to find the information or resources that interests you.

If you are looking for relevant We Can Do blog posts announcing a conference, training opportunity, or other event to attend, check

For more tips on how to locate the information you need at the We Can Do blog site, read:

Still can’t find what you want at the We Can Do blog site? Try these two suggestions:

1. Consider subscribing yourself to We Can Do so that you can receive an email alert each time the blog site is updated with something new. Instructions for how to do this on your own are at:

http://wecando.wordpress.com/subscribe-to-we-can-do/

2. Try exploring some of the many web sites for disability-oriented organizations around the world in the blog roll, at the very bottom of the page. Perhaps some other website will offer information that We Can Do does not have at this time.

Please note that each We Can Do blog post should have a link to an official web site with further details about the events or resources in which you are interested. (Or if there is no web link, then usually some other contact information should be provided, such as an email address.) To pursue these opportunities, you should therefore please follow the relevant links given in the blog post. The official site will provide more details and information than is possible to give in my abbreviated blog posts, including instructions for the appropriate way in which to contact the organizers directly or to apply for their opportunities. All applications, appeals, queries, etc. should please be directed to the organization sponsoring the event or opportunity that interests you, not to We Can Do.

Apologies for using a form letter. We Can Do is operated entirely by one person –me. And I do this entirely in my own free time, outside of my many other activities, with zero budget. Consequently, I have limited time for responding to individual inquiries.

Thank you, and good luck with your endeavors,
