This is us
Family of five: Wade, Estelle, Luca, Amelie and Eli. Our world as we knew it changed the day we found out we were pregnant with our Eli and now we can’t imagine it any other way. He has changed our perspective, our dreams and our future. Which has now evolved into something special and close to our hearts, INCLUDED & PERFECTLY DIFFERENT.
Our vision
Included and Perfectly Different is a nurturing and supportive community for parents of children with additional needs in the UAE. As parents of a child with Down syndrome, we understand the unique challenges and experiences that parents face, and we believe that no one should have to navigate this journey alone.
Our goal is to provide a space where parents can feel connected, informed, and empowered. We aim to foster a sense of belonging, where parents can share their stories, seek guidance, and find support from others who truly understand. Together, we strive to build a community that celebrates the strengths and accomplishments of every child, while offering a network of resources and information to help parents navigate the ups and downs of raising a child of determination.
Now let’s talk about our logo:
The letter 'L,' looks like the Down syndrome ribbon, symbolizing love and hope. It appears three times to represent the three 21st chromosomes that make each child special. The creative loops also look like a spring, symbolizing the potential in every child and bouncing back from any Challenges! The loops form the letter 'i,' reminding every one of our name: (i)included! This means everyone is welcome, and being different is something to celebrate! Our logo stands for love, support, and a happy community where every child's strengths are celebrated!
