CEBU CITY – Students of the Z Club of Childlink
High School celebrated the “International Day of the Girl Child” 2020 in a very
special way via art and painting to express their thoughts and to teach the adults
how to nurture their hopes for a future where gender gap is narrowed or totally
gone.
The “International Day of the Girl Child” is
observed every year on October 11 and the Zonta Club of Cebu II led the event
and hoped to see the day that every girl shall have safe spaces to grow up in,
where girls have the same opportunities to obtain education, as boys, and where
chances for a bright future abound.
The United Nations’ theme for this year’s
celebration is "My voice, our equal future" that focuses on how girls
globally are leading the way. It encouraged
the Z Club of Childlink High School to seize the opportunity to be inspired by
what adolescent girls see as the change they want, and the solutions they
envision, that will bring them closer to their goals.
What better far-reaching expression of dreams
is there than through art? The paintings are part of the students’ class in
Social Studies where they express their thoughts, and we learn some from these
young people.
What better fertile ground to sow the seeds of
awareness about gender equality than in the young minds of students, who have
been sensitized to action by the school with social responsibility in mind.
Childlink High School students who made
artworks for the International Day of the Girl Child included Alcyone
Torrecampo, Andrea Eloise Rentuza, Andrei Jose Ignacio, Breinard Torrecampo,
Chen Chit Ying, Galia Eve Casino, Goeun Jang, Jhirlymarie Lloyd Tio, Katrina
