Down syndrome is usually surrounded by prejudices to the point where society often hides people with this chromosomal abnormality. But social networks have become a powerful channel to give visibility to all these extraordinary children. We can know their daily lives and share with them every challenge they manage to overcome.
Today on World Down Syndrome Day we want you to know these 11 Instagram accounts that will help you understand the syndrome and how wonderful people are who carry an extra chromosome.
Nugget Mola
Pepita (@pepitamola) was born on May 21, 2015 with an extra chromosome, which makes it absolutely extraordinary. Her parents share in her account the most special moments of the girl's life, but also the most everyday and beautiful. Pepita is a cheerful and lovely girl. Surely it will steal your heart.
Nugget with its RIPPED SOCKS prepared for World Down Syndrome Day. On March 21 we will celebrate diversity and we will support the integration of people with different abilities. Because we are all different I encourage you to participate in this movement and also involve your family, friends and co-workers. This year we have made a very special collaboration, we have designed these socks ... two equal ones, in blue with Pepita glasses, and one unpaired, in maroon color and with 3X in allusion to trisomy 21. The sales benefit will be allocated to the Pepitamola Foundation.

Growupwithdown
In (@growupwithdown) we can be partakers of the life of Bizcochete, a child with Down syndrome who has 3 older siblings and is a sweetie. I want to share some precious words from his mother that have reached my heart:
"How to convey the love, happiness, that your pretty face offers me? How to make you understand that you are never a burden but rather it is you who relieves me of the stones that others put on me? I wish I could open my eyes to everyone those who doubt, I wish they could feel for a second the happiness, the MAXIMUM love you give me every day. "

Here, I want a big kiss from you all. Because I deserve it, I'm a champion. Because the tests have worked out very well and Cart cells are doing their job and keeping me clean of cancer. Because I don't give up and I know that in 6 months I will return to Barcelona with the same enthusiasm. Because I keep fighting, because I don't give up ... And because I love you and I need kisses.
