A child’s smile is the best gift of love

There is nothing more painful than the image of a child with hurricanes in his eyes and a sad, apathetic and listless look… There is nothing more distressing than the smile of a diminished, painful and lost child… There is nothing more devastating than contemplating how a child has lost his energy, his magic, his brilliance and his liveliness.

Why does it hurt us so much? Because childhood should always be a reflection of happiness, goodness and innocence. And our collective unconscious synchronizes with that naivety that one day made us feel alive and that fades over time.

Then we remember that the benefits of laughter and play are endless, that a single laugh oxygenates our life, that it helps us take a breath, to dialogue with ourselves, to be sincere about life.

That’s why, Let us protect children from that which is unnecessary, that makes them grow up in fear and does not offer them opportunities. Because they are our anchor, the architects of our future, the seeds of our history…

Their smiles, a wink of hope

At a time when the world needs more than ever to believe that there is something that can stop violence and contain kindness, Finding the smile of a child envelops us in a halo of hope.

Because we cannot forget that our children are the future, just as we were long ago. Because They are free minds that absorb our teachings as if they were sponges, that is why we must prevent our example from contaminating them.

The importance of Children’s Rights

If there is something that all children in the world have in common, without exception, it is their rights.. No matter where they were born, whatever skin color they have and whatever their economic or sexual condition, all children in the world have the same rights.

That said, all children have the right to live and grow in optimal conditions. All children have the right to receive an education, to enjoy a social life, to build their own future.

All children have the right to eat, not to go hungry and not to suffer from malnutrition. Likewise, all children must be protected from diseases, they must have the right to express themselves, to participate in decisions about what affects them, and to live in a safe and protected environment.

We must avoid all abuse, discrimination and exploitation and allow every child in this world to know their identity, of its past and its present, since only in this way can we guarantee its official recognition, its existence and its rights.

If we feed children with love, fears will die of hunger

We cannot help but remember on November 20, World Children’s Daythat there are millions of children living in unhealthy conditions and being enslaved and tormented day after day.

We cannot forget that there are thousands of children who are being fed with violenceforced to witness or commit atrocities, indoctrinated in the value of death, deprived of their childhood, their life and their growth.
