wbs_logo_Belgium Williams Beuren Syndroom vzw is the WS association for the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. Founded in 1991, it has now 75 member families and reaches most of the persons diagnosed with WS in the region. The association aims to help the persons affected with WS and their families through information, contacts and group activities. Every year there is one activity in spring time (conference, participation to cultural event or outdoor activity) and a family day in autumn. In 2013 we organized an international summer camp for youngsters with WS with participants from 9 different countries.
