Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.


~John F. Kennedy


November 20 marks the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. (UNCRC) which outlines the basic human rights to which children and youth everywhere are entitled. Adopted on Nov. 20, 1989, the UNCRC has two optional protocols: the optional protocol on the involvement of Children in Armed Conflict and the optional protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and child Pornography.


KVO wishes to mark this important day and extends a special thank you and acknowledgement to all the extraordinary nonprofits and charities who protect and promote the well-being of our children.
