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.

PALESTINA

Do not be afraid. We send you greetings from Veracruz; we are waiting for the light to make you free. Be strong, overcome your fears. Jesus is watching you night and day; the light keeps shining and will always wait for you. Have confidence and we send you hugs. I hope everyone is well and do not give up; have hope, strength, and much more. We love you; the darkness will end.

We love you very much and we always think of you.

Darkness is weaker than light; may the light always accompany you.

We are all strong; be strong and do not give up.
