Words of wisdom

TODAY is Universal Children’s Day, a special day to recognise that children have a right to health, safety, education and respect.

Besides celebrating kids for who they are, this special day also hopes to create awareness of less fortunate children around the world who are the silent victims of abuse, exploitation and discrimination. In some countries, children are used as forced labour, are immersed in armed conflict, or live on the streets, exposing themselves to all kinds of dangers.
