Childlife joins celebrations for childrens rights

Today, Childlife children joined celebrations in Mae Sai to mark Childrens Rights Day in Thailand.

The celebrations started with a parade, which our children were part of, down the main street of Mae Sai. It was a colourful procession with many of the children dressed in traditional clothes, bands playing music and banners promoting hopeful messages.

The parade then came together at the local square outside the District Office, where many of the children performed songs and dances on stage, including a great mime show by our children, 'Nana Theatre', telling the story of the hardships of living on the streets. The days celebrations also invloved a mutitude of activities, food and stalls with information to promote and raise awareness of childrens rights.
