In April 12, 1952, the Organization of American States (OAS) and UNICEF drafted the Declaration of Universal Principles for Children, to protect them from inequality and mistreatment. On this occasion it was agreed that each country should set a date to celebrate their children. Then, in 1955 the Bolivian government, instituted April 12 as "Children's Day". Days before, our girls’ teachers review their rights at school or get homework assignments about them. Then on that day, every school has a celebration and kids are given gift baskets with candy, little toys and snacks.
