Today marks the "World Down Syndrome Day", a date established by the UN that seeks publicly raise awareness and remember the inherent dignity, worth and important contributions to society of people with intellectual disabilities.
This year, the Down Spain Federation has launched the "Luck of having you" campaign, which is sweeping social networks for the emotional message it conveys and for fight stereotypes and prejudices that today are still associated with Down syndrome.
The video is narrated by a four-year-old girl who explains in a simple and emotional way why his brother with Down syndrome is the best in the world: "He takes care of me and makes me happy". Undoubtedly a powerful message, simple and full of positivism, and what is more wonderful than two brothers loving and caring for each other?
