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.

English Translation

Hello brothers in Palestine, I have found out about your situation and the truth is that I do not have enough words to express my desire to help you. Please still have faith; I know it seems like there is no way out anymore, but you have to endure because hope must persevere. Trust in us; here you have a sister in Mexico. If you continue having faith, you will likely endure. Here in Mexico, we have not forgotten you; we will also fight for your freedom. It also fills us with anger, but that will not do anything, so it is better to have hope.

You will get out of this; we pray for you!
