children's day
The International Children's Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries, usually (but not always) on June 1 each year.
The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.
June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all), and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1.
Since December 14, 1954, United Nations and UNESCO observes 20 November as the Universal Children's Day "to be observed as a day of worldwide fraternity and understanding between children. It recommended that the Day was to be observed also as a day of activity devoted to promoting the ideals and objectives of the Charter and the welfare of the children of the world.

Hola amiga :-) What a delightful capture. The inverted full size shades look endearing on this kid .....and the boy in the background has his own thoughts about it all. A worthy post for the ICD! Great. :-)

Wonderful photo. I saw it in a group I posted in.
I am sorry to be posting a "pre-recorded", or "copy and paste" reply, but my arthritis is soooo bad in my left hand, typing is painful. (Thank God it isn't my shutter finger!)
I didn't want to post and run, or just post the group icon. I believe every photo I enjoy seeing deserves a personal comment. Thisi sas personal as I can get today.
I really think this is a wonderful photo.
