As Chairperson of the organising committee for the 11th World Down Syndrome Congress, I wish to personally welcome you to attend the conference to be held in Cape Town, South Africa from 15th-17th August 2012.
We are delighted that the conference will be held in Cape Town and that we have been given the honour of hosting the event on behalf of Down Syndrome International (DSi).
We are focusing on the "Big Five" which is the theme for the Congress. They are Rights, Health, Education, Employment and Social.

I look forward to welcoming you all to South Africa and hope that you will also take the opportunity to explore our beautiful country.
