International Children's Day is a public holiday observed in some countries on June 1st.

The origin of this holiday goes back to 1925 when representatives from different countries met in Geneva, Switzerland to convene the first "World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children". After the conference, some governments around the world designated a day as Children's Day to highlight children's issues.

With the creation of World Children's Day, UN member states recognized children, regardless of race, colour, sex, religion and national or social origin, the right to affection, love, understanding, adequate food, medical care, free education, protection against all forms of exploitation and growing in a climate of universal peace and brotherhood.

Children are the future. They are the one who is going to bring change to the world and make it a better place. Hey, kids, happy Children’s Day and wish you a day full of fun and frolic!
