Got any fun runs yet planned for June 24, 2012? It’s still in a month so maybe you can set aside this date for the kids. Won’t you?
Children may not know much yet, but they still have rights that adults need to learn to respect! Many times, these rights are taken away from them, and being the young and fragile beings that they are, they can’t do anything about it. BUT WE CAN! Let’s be their voice… and one way to do it is by joining the RUN FOR CHILDREN’S RIGHTS on June 24!!

Isa, Dalawa, Takbo! Run for Children’s Rights is made possible through UP College of Law’s Movement for the Youth’s Education or MYLE.

The Movement for the Youth’s Legal Education or MYLE seeks to provide legal education primarily for children, and secondarily for the children’s families and their educators towards a holistic formation of the Filipino youth. It aims to provide awareness to children of their basic rights through classroom activities, lectures and workshops. MYLE also seeks to serve as a venue for students of the law to engage in a pro-active approach to learning laws pertaining to children’s rights.
–
MYLE organized this run for the benefit of Lingap Pangkabataan,, a non-government organization that also advocates children’s rights, which will celebrate its anniversary in June 2012.
