WDSD 2022 “Inclusion means…” – Malta

When you believe and recognise the abilities of persons with the condition of Down Syndrome the result is amazing.  

The Friendship Circle a group of youths within The Down Syndrome Association Malta were given the opportunity to work in a one day cafeteria, a project called Coffee with a Smile funded by the Maltese Youth Agency (Be-active).  

The participants managed to run and work as a team together with some support and serve numerous clients who joined for coffees and sweets.  This project was a real success so much so that a similar project will be implemented again this year.
