Hi Friend, I just discovered a new holiday that I did not realize existed...and it is...
![](http://user156590.websitewizard.com/images/International-Childrens-Day_small_copy.jpg)
Here's some interesting information concerning this date:
The Children's Defense Day is celebrated on the first day of June. This holiday is a very popular one in all CIS countries.
Schoolchildren enjoy this holiday the best as it's the first day of summer vacation. They may go outside cities, close to nature, go to the seaside including resort areas to get away from annoying teachers.
The decision to celebrate this day was accepted during the special session of the International Women Democratic Federation in November 1949. The first celebration of the International Children's Day was held on June 1, 1950.
The U.N. supported this initiative and announced the defense of a child's life, health and rights as one of the priorities of its activity.
