UNIVERSAL CHILDREN’S DAY 2017
`Children are the most valuable natural resource’ –Herbert Hoover
United Nations Universal
Children’s day was established in 1954 and is celebrated on November 20th
each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children
worldwide and improving children’s welfare. November 20th is an
important date as it is the date in 1959 when the UN General Assembly adopted
the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It is also the date in 1989 when
the UN General Assembly adopted the convention on children’s right. Since 1990,
Universal Children’s Day also marks the anniversary of the date that the UN
General Assembly adopted both the declaration and the convention on children’s
right.

Universal Children’s Day
offers each of us an inspirational entry-point to advocate, promote and
celebrate children’s rights, translating into dialogues and actions that will
build a better world for children. Children’s day is celebrated on various
calendar dates in different countries. Here in Nigeria, May 27 of every year is
dedicated to celebrate children.
Team Nutrido knows the
importance of children having the right to healthy life through healthy eating
(adequate intake of fruits and vegetables) and regular exercise, and thus joins
UN to celebrate all the children all over the world.
HAPPY
UNIVERSAL CHILDREN’S DAY.
Team Nutrido cares!
