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, children of Palestine; I want you to know that we find out about what you are going through and I truly feel all that suffering, and that is why I write this letter. I want to give you encouragement so that you can be well and stay happy; the storm will soon pass, and you will be able to live as you did before.

With affection, Matias
