Children's Day
Children are the future custodians of the nation, and thus providing them with a good family, social, and educational environment is a goal ardently worked for by every nation.
In August 1925, some 54 representatives from different countries gathered together in Geneva, Switzerland to convene the first "World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children," during which the "Geneva Declaration Protecting Children" was passed. The proclamation made a strong appeal for the spiritual needs of children, relief for children in poverty, prevention of child labor, reassessing the way that children are educated and other issues related to the welfare of children around the world.
After the conference, various governments around the world designated a day, different in each country, as Children's Day, to encourage and bring joy to children as well as to draw the attention of society to children's issues. Children's Day is celebrated in china on June 1st.
Children's Day is a time of festivity for our nation's young. The occasion is marked by the Children's Day Celebration honoring model students from around china and by numerous parent-children activities sponsored by government and civic organizations. Thus, the day not only lets the kids become king for a day, but also helps to strengthen the bond between parents and their children.
