International Children’s Day

Eye screening to commemorate Children’s Day

This event will also commemorate International Children’s Day, which is celebrated on June 1 every year.

Children's Day is recognised on various days in many places around the world to honour children globally.

The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland, proclaimed June 1 to be International Children's Day in 1925.

It is usually marked with speeches on children's rights and wellbeing, and other events involving or dedicated to children.

School screening was a US AID funded project that PNGEC did since March 2016.
