International Day of the Girl Child
The International Day of the Girl Child is observed annually on October 11th worldwide. It serves as a global platform to advocate for the full spectrum of girls' rights. The children at the Home observed this day by conducting a skit competition under the 2023 UNICEF theme: "Invest in Girls' Rights: Our Leadership, Our Well-Being." Through their skits, the children raised awareness about the unique challenges and opportunities that girls face, promoting gender equality and empowering girls to reach their full potential.
Observation of International Day of Peace
On September 21, 2023, the children of Hope Home, MANEDA, organized a choral competition in observance of the International Day of Peace under the theme: "Actions for Peace; Our Ambition for the Global Goals." The children also performed various other activities to make the day more memorable, including folk fusions, cultural dances, drama, and a cultural show.
