The crowning<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Our 2021- 2022 winners were crowned at a ceremony held in Nairobi in February 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony was well attended with almost 100 parents and children, Rotarians from the Czech republic, Prague International club as well as Peter James Association organisers and volunteers. There was a good media presence and TV interviews were broadcast. Founder and Chair Veronica addressing the attendees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our neurodiverse children need to be included in all aspects of life. We are yet to see a neurodiverse child on a billboard as a brand ambassador in Kenya. We are still calling on different products to \u00a0make this happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Contestant Joy. Living with Down Syndrome<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As our contestants share their experiences raising our neurodiverse children, we all have a chance to learn about others who also face difficult and sometimes very similar difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contestant number two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Joy Nyawira<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joy has brought us so much joy since she was born. Little did we know that we would laugh a lot and that she would bring so much joy everyday. Even though she’s very non-verbal and can’t express all of her thoughts, my daughter understands so much. She has taught us a new language i.e. acronyms-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IFSP,IEP,PT,ST,OT,OHS,VSD, the list goes on. There’s so much about having a child with down  syndrome that ushers you into a new world. Now I have a new language to match. Joy has taught me to become a master  problem solver. We chose not to hide our children, because Neurodiversity is beautiful<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
