Now it’s time to make your voice heard! For the rest of the year, continue to learn about children’s rights and make it your goal to spread awareness to anyone who’s willing to listen. Keep up your amazing efforts, energy and enthusiasm, and never stop believing.

How you decide to break the silence is entirely up to you, but get creative. Plan a party. Post an online video where you tell the world why you took the vow. Whatever you do, do it loud.



If you’re planning something special, we’d love to hear about it.
