Our new Ambassador for China

Our new Ambassador for China

We are delighted to welcome Ambassador Tang Yi Feng, who will represent China.

Tang Yi Feng (known as Jerry) is a self-advocate with Up For Down’s China.

Jerry was chosen to represent the organisation and people with Down syndrome in China on our committee of Ambassadors.

Jerry joins 15 other self-advocates who have Down syndrome on the committee.

Speaking about his new role, Jerry said, “I hope I can do something to make the public understand people with Down syndrome better and make the world more inclusive.”

His previous experience includes speaking at the United Nations about the rights of people with Down syndrome at the 13th World Down Syndrome Day Conference, 2024.

We welcomed Ups For Down’s China to the Down Syndrome International Network in 2023. They represent people with Down syndrome and their families across the country.

The team is involved in advocacy work, speaking up for the rights of people with Down syndrome in China.

They also organise celebratory events like this musical party for Down Syndrome Awareness month in October 2023.

Jerry will be supporting our Programme team to understand how to include people with Down syndrome better. 

He will use the skills he develops with us to support Ups For Down’s China to include people with Down syndrome in their work too.
