Please share this e-mail with others you think might benefit from this information.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is warning Veterans not to give credit card numbers over the phone to callers claiming to update VA prescription information. Veteran Service Organizations have brought to VA's attention that callers are misrepresenting the VA to gain personal information over the phone. They say VA recently changed procedures for dispensing prescriptions and ask for the Veteran's credit card number. Veterans with questions about VA services should contact the nearest VA medical center or call, toll-free, 1-877-222-8387.

Down's Syndrome Association Nepal

DSA Nepal was founded in May 2006 by Shila Thapa, president of the DSA, relatives and seven parents of children with Down Syndrome. Each parent has experienced horrifying days during the infancy of their child and consequently feel inspired to generate changes in the attitude of society towards children with Down Syndrome.

I worked for 10 years transporting young children with disabilities. The families of these children were dedicated and in love with them, they were all gifts from God. I used to take my children with me on my bus runs and they would ask a lot of questions and I always gave them this straight answer. "We are all different, and in each of us, is a gift from God, look for that in everyone you meet."
