The New Face of
Downs

misinformation and negative attitudes about Down Syndrome.

Just Like Me, But Different Summer Camp
Camp experiences designed to integrate special needs and general
populations, encouraging children to look beyond disabilities.

Mount Moriah Farmstead School Enrichment Program
A program aimed at teaching school groups about man's relationship with the land and the
role that relationship has played in Texas history, and continues to play today. Students
will interact with the Farmstead residents, learning that adults with cognitive challenges
can be friends and teachers.

Elder Care
With the average life expectancy of a person with Downs now well into the 50s and continuing to climb, quality
nursing facilities are needed that will focus on the individual's quality of life in addition to physical needs.

International Awareness
In countries around the world, children with Down Syndrome are simply abandoned. Living on the
streets, they are easy prey for those that would take advantage of them. International Awareness
programs will export our philosophy and programs abroad to countries like the Dominican Republic.

Children's Family Home
Parents who choose to give their babies a chance for life, but do not feel equipped to face the
challenges of Downs can know that their child is growing up in a family environment.

With the exception of the public
awareness campaign, these programs
represent our future plans. In order to bring
these dreams to reality, we depend on the
financial support and volunteer contributions
of those who stand with us to change the way
the world looks at Downs.
