Qaireen said in her speech, “There are so many children’s rights that have to be fulfilled and talents that need to be developed. On Children’s Day 2024, we take the theme. Stop insecure! You are talented. Why did we choose that theme? Because in Sanggar Unit Tales and Lebak, there are still children and teenagers who are afraid or lack self-confidence. Through this event, we ask our friends, brother, and sister to stop not being confident because we are talented and useful,”. Meanwhile, Chansa delivered her speech: “As we know, many children from underprivileged families receive little attention because the family is busy with their daily work. We, as children, need attention and love. We hope that through this children’s day, the family cares for their children. The community must also take responsibility for the children’s wellbeing.(Mahrawi)
