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.

Hello!

My name is Leyli, I send you greetings from Mexico, Veracruz. I hope you are well. Everything you are living through right now is difficult, but I know how strong all of you are. Do not lose that strength and hope; you are very brave.

We have faith that this will pass and you will be able to be happy again. I send you all my support and a big hug.

Do not give up boys, girls, men, women; you are strong and brave. My deepest condolences.

With love, Leyli 🙂
