International Children’s Day is celebrated on June 01. The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland, proclaimed June 1 to be International Children’s Day in 1925 to draw attention to children’s issues.

The United Nations’ (UN) Universal Children’s Day, which was established in 1954, is celebrated on November 20 each year to promote international togetherness and awareness among children worldwide.

Therefore, both days are celebrated in different countries.

Did you know there is an International Day for Street children?

How can we get involved? What can we do to reduce the number of street children?

Here is what a child your age can be like and what she can stand for. ( an old video  but an actual subject)

Cullis-Suzuki ( the girl in the video above) founded the Environmental Children’s Organization (ECO), a group of children dedicated to learning and teaching other youngsters about environmental issues.At age 12, Cullis-Suzuki raised money with members of ECO to attend the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Along with a group of children, Cullis-Suzuki presented environmental issues from a youth perspective at the summit. The video has since become a viral hit, popularly known as “The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes”. Then, she  was honored in the United Nations Environment Programme’s  Roll of Honor.

Later, Cullis-Suzuki graduated from Yale University  with a B.S. in ecology .
