8th of May – an International day of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies that is celebrated by Red Cross people all over the world. Celebrating of birthday of Red Cross founder, Henry Dunant has got much more important meaning than just birthday. Today it is the day when main Red Cross work values are underlined with the focus on humanity, help and peace. Nevertheless with children we decided to combine both – birthday party and talk about peaceful and beautiful world.
Drawing with chalk is an activity adored by every single child. We decided to repeat this activity done by Red Cross Youth some years ago. Our small project “Let’s make a present – draw a perfect world for Henry” took place in playgrounds of Shirak and Aeracia dormitories.
Henry Dunant cared about people in need. We hope that we managed to send the message for children about importance of humanitarism, good world and, most important, good people.
For us, organizers, this day was very special and inspiring. Children were very engaged in drawing and they were very passionate when they talked about good world which they imagined and which they would like to live in.
