| El Día de los Niños
Celebrating Young Americans is a gift from the Latino community
to all children. Many nations throughout the world, and especially
within the Western hemisphere celebrate “Día de
los Niños” on April 30th to honor and celebrate
children—who represent the hope and dreams of every community.
In the United States, a growing number of cities, schools,
libraries, museums, churches and other community organizations
are embracing this celebration (official
sites) by planning activities and events that:
• Are fun and exciting
• Center around children’s interests
• Develop skills
• Instill confidence
• Capture children’s dreams and hopes
• Involve families and community
• Reflect cultural diversity
• Inspire and empower new generations of achievers
• Create advocacy for children’s issues
• Engage civic leaders, media, sponsors and volunteers
