Buddy Walk

There were a lot of people there to make contributions, and walk to raise money for research to find a cure for children with down syndrome. While at the event, we saw 10 children with down syndrome performing music as part of a bell ensemble. The music was very beautiful, and made me realize that children with down syndrome can learn and make real contributions to the world.

Mr. Brown led Haverford School 5th graders to a Mission webpage and worked together to create an awareness display.
