I am a child... with eyes, hands, a voice, a heart....

AND RIGHTS.

I have the right to a first name, a last name, a family that smiles at me and a country that I can call "my home".

I have the right to have enough food to eat and water to drink, so that i can grow.

I have the right to be cured with the best medicines that were ever invented

And to run and jump and climb and shout: it's so wonderful to feel good!

I have the right to go to school without having to pay so that i can learn how birds or airplanes or poppy seeds fly.

I have the same right whether i am a girl or a boy; boys and girls love to sing with the same songs.

I have exactly the same right to be respected whether i am a black or white, small or big, rich or poor, born here or somewhere else.

I have the right to be free from any kind of violence and no one has the right to take advantage of me because i am a child... no one!!
