Each day until World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, we are highlighting a wonderful member of our community (21 Days of Ability). Today we'd like you to meet Carmelo!

"I'm valuable to my family and friends. I fill those around me with joy and so much love. I am a happy guy who loves music, food and giving great big hugs. I should be invested in because I am an important part of my community and because investing in someone like me contributes to a more inclusive society where everyone can thrive."
