También estamos buscando a padres que les gustaría ser parte del programa “recién nacido” y visitar con las familias de habla hispana que tienen un infante nacido con el Síndrome de Down. Si habla ambos idiomas inglés y español y le gustaría compartir su tiempo y talentos e desea involucrarse con UDSF, póngase en contacto con Suzie Smith al suzie@udsf.org or call 877-499-8373 or 801-446-1994.
