As a child, I had a vision of tomorrow. A vision of that cobbler boy sitting with me in my classroom.

‘Now, that tomorrow has become TODAY.

1am TODAY, and you are TODAY. TODAY it is time for every child to have a right to life, right to freedom, right to health, right to education, right to safety. right to dignity, right to equality, and right to peace.

TODAY, beyond the darkness, I see the smiling faces of our children in the blinking stars. TODAY, in every wave of every ocean, I see my children are playing and dancing. TODAY, in every plant, in every tree and mountain, I see our children growing freely with dignity.

Friends, I want you to see and feel this TODAY inside you.

My dear sisters and brothers, as I said many interesting things are happening today. May I please request you to put your hand close to your heart - close your eyes and feel the child inside you?

I am sure you can - Now, listen to that child. Listen please.

Today, I see thousands of Mahatma Gandhis, Nelson Mandelas and Martin Luther Kings calling on us.

Let us democratise knowledge. Let us universalise justice. Together, let us globalise compassion!

I call upon you in this room, and all across the world. I call for a march from exploitation to education. I call for a march from poverty to shared prosperity, a march from slavery to liberty, and a march from violence to peace.

Let us march from ignorance to awakening. Let us march from darkness to light. Let us march from mortality to divinity.

Let us march!

To prevent child labour, I will first ensure that I do not use products made using child labour, such as fireworks. If I come across a child engaged in labour, I will try to convince their parents to send them to school. Additionally, I will inform my parents and encourage them to support these families by providing essentials like books, bags, or clothes if they agree to educate their child. Lastly, I will reach out to an NGO working in the field of education and request their assistance in helping the child.
