Happy Children’s Day

A special date, much awaited by children around the world and is celebrated in different countries. According to the history and meaning of the celebration, each country chooses a certain date and certain types of celebration to remember its minors. At the same time, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) agreed on November 20 to celebrate Children’s Day.

In 1923, the city of Rio de Janeiro, then the capital of Brazil, hosted the 3rd South American Child Congress. The following year, taking advantage of the recent event, federal deputy Galdino do Valle Filho drafted the bill that established this new commemorative date. On November 5, 1924, Decree No. 4867, instituted October 12 as the official date for the celebration of Children’s Day.

However, the date did not become an immediate unanimity. Only in 1955, the date began to be celebrated from a marketing campaign designed by a toy industry called Estrela. (source: Brasil Escola Uol)

Well, whether to celebrate the rights of all children in the world like food, love and education or the toy trade, without a doubt, this is a date that renews the hope of a better world, after all, the maxim that children are the nation’s future is real and we must (or should) care for them with respect, lots of love and healthy food.
