Celebrating Children’s Day / Te Rā o Ngā Tamariki
March 12, 2021 at 2:00 PM
HON KELVIS DAVIS
Today marks Children’s Day / Te Rā o Ngā Tamariki and the Minister for Children, Kelvin Davis is asking all New Zealanders to think about their responsibility to support the lives of the tamariki in their communities and to make this a special day for celebrating them.
Children’s Day / Te Rā o Ngā Tamariki is a day of national awareness that aims to make all children in the country feel appreciated, held on the first Sunday of March each year.
“Te Rā o Ngā Tamariki is all about everyone putting in the effort to make tamariki realise they are special, they are loved, they are important,” Kelvin Davis said.
“It’s something all of us should be doing every day.
“But the reality is not every parent, grandparent or guardian in the country always has the time to drop everything else and really focus on the children.
“That is what this day is about – l would love every child in the country to feel like it is their birthday today – to feel appreciated, supported and loved for who they are,” Kelvin Davis said.
