Children of today are our future. Today’s children will inherit all of what humanity has managed to accomplish since the beginning of its existence. They are the ones who will be charged with protecting the weak and vulnerable of this world, and making even the hardest of decisions.
World Children’s day is dedicated to all of the children, so that they may enjoy these carefree years while realizing the responsibilities that await them.

The program started with a high on energy motivational talk on “Children taking over the world” by the School of Leadership Facilitator (adolescent) to get the participants in a groove, bring their energy up and break them out of their comfort zones. Whereas the schools were requested priorly with guidelines to conduct a speech competition in their respective Schools under six priority areas of UNICEF and nominate one who will deliver 5 minutes speech at the event in a TED talk style.
