What Protecting Childhood Means:

“Protecting childhood is one of the most important humanitarian goals. Childhood is a period of increased vulnerability, and a person’s formation depends on its quality. If we want to cultivate and grow a healthy society, we must invest in protecting childhood, as it is the foundation of everything. Protecting childhood involves raising children in the best possible environment – in a loving family, a safe community, and a healthy society.”

Favorite Childhood Memory:

“My favorite childhood memory is related to the winter holidays when my mother and I would prepare sweets and wait for carolers. Afterward, we would go caroling by ourselves.”
