1st ‘Draw my Dreams’ Drawing Competition
We believe all children deserve a chance to dream. The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that children everywhere are entitled with the right to education, health, survival and play so that they can pursue their dreams. Yet, for children in developing countries, such basic rights are unattainable luxuries. Meanwhile, poverty and inequality put dream out of reach for many.

To raise awareness of challenges faced by children living in developing world, schools are invited to organise screenings and put up display panels using materials provided.
