Over twenty (20) students received the opportunity to visit the Prime Minister’s Office, where both Minister Melford Nicholas and Minister E.P Chet Greene joined PM Gaston Browne for the interactive meet and greet.

The theme for International Children’s Day this year means that every child belonging to any community, or nationality is entitled to equal rights. It also emphasizes the eradication of discrimination among children. Not only general rights, but a global society welcomes and offers space to children.

In many countries, International Children’s Day is celebrated on November 20. It is a day to celebrate childhood and to promote international togetherness and awareness among children worldwide.

International Children’s Day was first established in 1925 by the World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva. The day was created to bring attention to the needs of children around the world and to promote their rights.

In 1954, the United Nations General Assembly recommended that the day be observed by all countries. International Children’s Day is now recognized as a day of global celebration.

There are many ways to celebrate International Children’s Day. Some schools hold special events and activities to mark the occasion. In some countries, children’s organizations hold marches and rallies to raise awareness of children’s rights.

International Children’s Day is also a day for adults to reflect on the role they play in children’s lives. Adults can show their support for children by volunteering in their community, donating to children’s charities, or simply spending time with kids.
