Children are full of life. Living in an imaginative world with no worries, they teach you how to be happy. Their experiences, in play or at school, help them understand the world and let them grow as responsible human beings.

A child’s future is shaped by his present. But what good will the future be if his present is full of hardships?

The environment in which a child grows up has a crucial role to play in his development. Thus, every society should make sure that its children are taken proper care of and allowed the privilege to exercise the basic rights.
