International Day for Protection of Children is observed on 1st June since 1950. It was established in Moscow). It is really a Socialist holiday! But the very best one they ever created!
I always remember it, maybe because I am an eternal child at heart. I do not remember celebrating it. I remember the indelible mark the very fact that children need to be protected and that there is a special day in the calendar just for children left on my impressionable mind.
Half the world and half a century away I awakened this morning with the bright thought on my mind – it’s Children’s Day!
