7 March - International Children's Day of Broadcasting

Hey all!! U know I am actively involved in UNICEF. I have some UNICEF announcements to make here.

This coming Sunday (7 March 2010) is International Children's Day of Broadcasting (ICDB). The ICDB was initiated in 1991 to give exposure to the issue of children's rights. Over the years, the ICDB has become a day of celebrating young people in the media. By giving children media skills and putting their voices on air, other young people will know that they, too, can have a voice.

I, on behalf of UNICEF Malaysia, am proud to announce that to celebrate ICDB this year, a host of Malaysian TV and radio stations are standing united to honour children by way of highlighting programming by, for and about children. The theme for 2010 is "All Rights, All Children", and I have news that young people will be co-hosting some of the programmes.

I would like to invite you to tune in to these special programmes which will be aired the weekend of 6th-7th March.

As you tune in to these stations, I hope you are also reminded to tune in, and listen to the young people around you. (Yes MUMMIES and DADDIES, I am talking you)
