Día de los Niños Set for April 30
The National Latino Children's Institute (NLCI) has established an
annual celebration called Día de los Niños (children's Day) to celebrate
and uplift young Latino's in the U.S. First launched in San Antonio,
this year's celebration is scheduled for April 30. Organizers hope to
make this an annual, national event "that will bring Latino and
children's organization, celebrities, elected officials, and community
officials together by focusing on Latino children." Participants and
supporters view the new holiday as "the perfect opportunity to call
national attention to the critical role of this group in the future of
the nation."
To find out how your organization can plan or participate in your
community, call NLCI at (512) 472-9971.
