"Children aren't the people of tomorrow but are the people of today. They are entitled to be taken seriously. They have a right to be treated by adults with tenderness and respect, as equals. They should be allowed to grow into whoever they were meant to be. The unknown person inside each of them is the hope for the future."
The International Day of Hope
12 July
This day is an important reminder that hope should be a part of your life every day! What do you hope for? What is really important to you?
Believe in yourself and always keep hope in your mind.
So much is changing almost everywhere. No matter where you are, who you are, or how old you are, you have the right to be safe and free to be your true self!
Even when you have been hurt or treated badly just because you are different from whoever has hurt you, it’s not your fault!
There are people who care about you and can help you, and it’s important for you to believe in yourself and have hope that things can get better, and know that you can help make that happen too! Things you do make a difference. Being kind to someone who is sad can make that person feel better, and perhaps that person will learn from you that being kind to someone else will make a difference too!
