UNICEF Year of the Child

UNICEF Year of the Child 2009

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR & WELCOME TO YEAR OF THE CHILD 2009
Making Children and Young People Count

2009 marks the 30th anniversary of the United Nations' International Year of the Child. This is an ideal opportunity for our community to adopt 2009 as a celebration of children and childhood by:

* Celebrating their contribution in the life of the Community of Leigh Parish.

It is an opportunity to make 2009 a year in which the issues, injustices and challenges facing young people today can be highlighted. It gives chance for work with children and young people to be celebrated and to facilitate new initiatives with and for young people. It has so many strategic possibilities not just for celebrating, but also for lasting change and growth.

I would like our community to come up with ideas of how we can celebrate our children here in Leigh, you don’t necessarily have to have a big idea, small things work just as well. I am happy to co-ordinate these.

If you have an idea why not contact me today!
