NABAWAN: More than 300 children from Nabawan, Sook, Pensiangan and Keningau participated in the district-level World Children’s Day celebration and Charity Month held at the Open Stage and Sports Complex here.
World Children’s Day is a global day of action for children by children. It celebrates the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child on Nov 20, 1989.
“Health and Well-being for Every Child” is the theme of the celebration used to emphasise the importance of good nutrition for children’s growth and development through increasing knowledge about the nutritional value of local food (recipes and planting activities are based on what is available in the country) fostering children’s interest in growing and consuming local fruits and vegetables.
