Save the Children

The poet Oscar Wild, wrote these moving lines: ”Children begin by loving their parents. After some time, they judge their parents. Rarely, if ever, do they forgive them”. 

It is a well known fact that the well-being of today’s children is inseparable from the peace,

progress and prosperity of tomorrow’s world. It is, therefore, important that children be nurtured in an environmentally sustainable pattern to promote national and global peace and progress. The importance of their welfare was underlined during the World Summit for Children in September, 1990, held under the auspices of the United Nations International Children Education Fund (UNICEF) where world leaders maintained that ”unless the investment in children is made, all of humanity’s most fundamental long-term problems will remain fundamental long term problems”.  Put succinctly, children are a country’s most precious assets and they demand the highest priority on both national and international investments.
