2. World Children’s Day

This week United Nations Universal Children’s Day was celebrated on Tuesday, November 20. Each year the occasion aims to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children’s welfare. This year, the focus was on building a world “where every child is in school, safe from harm and can fulfil their potential”. Social media users spoke about the day and did their bit in trying to raise awareness about sending children to school.

@Sara_Abdeen: “I really hope for every child a bright future and nice life full of peace and happiness with no tears no pain and no fears. They’re the light of the world, without them it seems so dark, dismal and gloomy. #WorldChildrensDay”
