The handbook is organized around teaching ideas about the Convention on the Rights of the Child adopted by the United Nations in 1989 and later ratified by several member nations. Part 1, "Know Your Rights," suggests nine teaching tools and resources for a broad overview of children's rights and is followed by activity suggestons. This section provides information on monitoring students' learning, identifying students' location on the continuous process of inquiry, and selecting the appropriate tool for an entry point, an application, a summarizing activity, an action taking project, and so on. Part 2 provides activity ideas related to particular rights under five theme categories: mental and physical well-being, identity and expression, family and community, knowledge and culture, and law and protection.

  • The Eliminate Project Final Report from Our Leaders
    © UNICEF/UNI10404/Akash THE ELIMINATE PROJECT FINAL REPORT FROM OUR LEADERS Over the years, The Eliminate Project provided countless significant moments — causes for celebration, reasons to shed tears and opportunities to come together. Through it all, one conviction remained at the core of the campaign: No child should ever die from a preventable disease. Now that The Eliminate Project has come to a close, we are pleased to share the report that follows — because everything in it is a result of that first principle. PAUL PALAZZOLO ARTHUR RILEY 2009-10 Kiwanis 2020-21 Kiwanis International president International president When the Kiwanis family began the project in partnership with UNICEF, the vaccine for maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) had existed for decades. But newborn babies in 39 countries were suffering slow and painful deaths, with millions of others at risk, simply because they did not have access to quality healthcare services. It was an unacceptable fact in the world. Our partnership with UNICEF was an opportunity to change that fact — and to change the world. Eleven years later, we can look back with pride at what we’ve accomplished. But we should also remember that initial excitement and keep the determination to eliminate MNT in the countries where it remains a threat. As you read this report, we hope you’ll take pride in what Kiwanis has accomplished. We also hope you’ll remember the mothers and babies in countries where the work we’re funding continues. Kids need Kiwanis. The Eliminate Project stands as a continuing, worldwide testament to what we can achieve when we keep that truth close to our hearts.
