A day celebrating childhood! Your children will have a great day at school - with games, plays, competitions, and maybe sweet treats! How about a differently pitched programme for afterschool?
As children, they do have a responsibility for other children not as privileged as they are. How about a gentle reminder of this reality afterschool? After all, children's day is not just about feeling smug about yourself - it is about making sure that every child gets a safe, nurturing childhood.
Here are a few resources that can help:
UNICEF has a collection of good online games - children can learn about (and take action - though virtual) issues such as sanitation, water supply, fund raising for development, etc. Here is the link.
For a detailed report on the profile of children in India (health, nutrition, education,...) from the Government of India, click here.
Wishing a truly happy children's day for all children.

Yes, the sad reality is that for a few lucky children, everyday is Children's Day while for millions of others, there is no Children's Day at all.
