Awesome Awareness Around The World 365 Days A Year
Orange County participants traveling the world with GiGi’s heart in their luggage
Where in the world are the GiGi’s Playhouse Orange County participants this summer? They are truly all over the globe! Our participants and their families are seizing the opportunity to explore new places and make unforgettable memories. This summer, our families are journeying to destinations as diverse as Hawaii, Virginia, Arizona, London, the Netherlands, Germany, and Iceland, among many others. Each trip is a chance not only for adventure but also for spreading the message of Down syndrome awareness and acceptance.
To enhance this mission, we have equipped our families with a GiGi’s heart logo to carry with them on their travels. The idea is simple yet powerful: they take photos with the logo at various landmarks and picturesque spots. These snapshots are then proudly displayed in our playhouse, creating a vibrant collage of global experiences. This visual journey highlights the spirit of our participants and showcases their love for travel and new experiences, proving that individuals with Down syndrome have an insatiable wanderlust too!
The photos serve as a reminder to the world that our community is active, adventurous, and full of life. They show that no matter where you go, the spirit of GiGi’s Playhouse Orange County is present, breaking down stereotypes and fostering a greater understanding and acceptance of Down syndrome. Our global adventures this summer not only enrich the lives of our participants and their families but also inspire everyone who sees their stories and photos displayed at the playhouse.
If you and your family have a vacation on the horizon, be sure to reach out to our Site Manager, Suzanne, to receive your very own laminated GiGi’s Heart to accompany you on your journey. Capture a photo with the heart during your travels and send it to sscott@gigisplayhouse.org. Together, one person and one trip at a time, we’re spreading the message of Down syndrome awareness.
Keep working ,splendid job!
