National Child Day

Today I was at the Kinder Kollege celebrating National Child Day. The children were playing on a bouncy thing, running around, throwing balls and of course screaming. The thrust of National Child Day is raise awareness of children's rights and responsibilities.

Children have the right to be taken seriously and the responsibility to listen to others.

Children have the right to good health care and the responsibility to take good care of themselves.

Children have the right to a good education and the responsibility to study and to respect their teachers.

Children have the right to be loved and protected from harm and the responsibility to love and care for others.

Children have the right to be included whatever their abilities and the responsibility to respect others for their differences.

Children have the right to be proud of their heritage and beliefs and the responsibility to respect the culture and beliefs of others.

Children have the right to a safe and comfortable home and the responsibility to keep it clean.

Children have the right to make mistakes and the responsibility to learn from their mistakes.

Children have the right to be well fed and the responsibility not to waste food.

Kinder Kollege still has room for children 2.5 - 4 years old. They still have a significant waiting list for 6 month babies. Lilliana is pressing the province for more spaces to address her long waiting list.
