Down Syndrome (also known as trisomy 21) is a genetic disorder. The presence of an extra chromosome 21 causes down syndrome. Delay in cognitive ability and physical growth and a particular set of facial characteristics are associated with down syndrome. (National Health Portal of India)

Palak was born with down syndrome. She is an exceptional and extremely inspirational individual. Highly motivated, talented and a happy-go-lucky girl is what describes Palak the best. In addition, Palak also enjoys to travel and dance.

With support, love and determination any child with special needs can shine. In this video, you will hear the story of one such child.
