World Children's Day is celebrated internationally in over 100 countries, established by the UN General Assembly in 1954 to celebrate children and promoting access to an education. It is meant to promote childhood, which can only be a good thing!
The Nepali primary school in Patan, supported by Kumbeshwar Technical School (our fantastic knit producer) celebrated Children's Day in September (some countries have different dates, but still a great reason to celebrate!). All the children from nursery to Class 6 were involved in the festivities, with a program of poem competitions, quiz contest (on fair trade of course...) and all children were encouraged to perform!
Shell Roti snacks kept the kids happy, and even some of the youngest performers were rewarded for their efforts!
Kumbeshwar Technical School also awarded size recent graduates who were top of their class in their new secondary school, to encourage them!
Great stuff Kumbeshwar, and Happy World Children's Day!Posted via email from AURA QUE
