CELEBRATE INNOCENCE – UNIVERSAL CHILDREN’S DAY

On 20th November every year, we celebrate the United Nations’ Universal children’s day that aims at Celebrating Innocence. Established by United Nations in 1954, this day is to promote international togetherness, awareness among children and improving their welfare worldwide.

According to UNICEF every year millions of children around the world become victims of violence. We observe a lot of children begging on streets or serving at roadside outlets. The age when these flowers must flourish in school gardens, they remain busy to collect garbage around the streets.

The violence children face takes many forms of exploitations including; trafficking, physical abuse and domestic violence. They also face humiliating punishments, harmful traditional practices like early marriage or child labour what so.

No doubt it’s a sin against humanity and The Great Almighty. We end up destroying our own future in the name of greed and power. But what can we do about it? We must avoid throwing coins at street beggars and check all establishments around us where underage kids are working. We must try to motivate them and their parents to join schools and get properly educated.

Besides being able to help them against poverty and hunger we must be sincere towards our own kids as well. The best way is to motivate them for the noble humanitarian cause and thoughts and made them spiritually active, by yourself setting as an example. Thoughtful parenting with honesty in our day to day routine will also result in securing our children’s future. It gives immense happiness as Vishwa Jagriti Mission has been parenting thousands of orphan children “Devdoot” for many years now and has been successfully giving them the direction to progress and fulfill their life’s dreams.

It is important to consider every kid as the flower of God’s own garden and feed them with positive thoughts for a pleasant soul. Happy Universal Children’s Day!
