Art from the Heart

This is the digital exhibition of artworks and message from children all over the world prepared by the Children's Advisory Team of Child Rights Connect. The goal is to support the discussion at the Annual Day on the Rights of the Child at the UN Human Rights Council about children in armed conflict by showing how children see the world, how conflict affects them, and what they want adults and decision makers to do to protect them.

Children’s voices matter. Their views matter. Even, and especially, in times of war. When children are listened to, peace becomes possible.

Estimada gente de Catatumbo,

No sé exactamente quién leerá esta carta. Sé que estáis pasando por momentos difíciles.
He leído sobre todo lo que está pasando en la región, en el Catatumbo, y sé que es muy difícil vivir con tanta violencia y miedo acumulado.

Nosotros somos Hanza y Dani, Quiero que sepas que no estás solo. Nos gustaría saber qué necesitáis porque mi compañero y yo estaríamos dispuestos a mandaros lo que sea con tal de que se os haga más amena esta crisis humanitaria.

Con afecto,
Hanza y Dani
