The Social Committee of the Soufriere Regional Development Foundation (SRDF) honoured the students of the Soufriere Special Education Centre on the occasion of World Down Syndrome Day. The Foundation’s social committee threw a party for the children at the centre. Teachers at the Special Education Centre were thrilled and expressed her sincere appreciation to the committee. According to a teacher, not many persons come to the school to extend these gestures to the students.  She lamented that society has placed a stigma on the students where they are referred to as “Dummies”. She stressed that these specially-abled children need love and support and not hurtful labels.
