Announcement: The International Children's Peace Prize 2010: call for nominations [2 Attachments]

Message from KidsRights:
 
Last year KidsRights had the honour of presenting the International Children's Peace Prize to Baruani Ndume. A 16 year old boy from The DRC who is now living in a refugee camp in Tanzania. He was awarded this Prize for his ongoing efforts in giving other children a platform to discuss their daily struggles and worries. In addition he gives these children the opportunity to call out to their parents, whom they lost during the war. He does all this through his radio show that airs from the refugee camp.

Like Baruani many children from all over the world were nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize 2009. Which means that many organisations from all over the world sent us their nominations, maybe also your organisation. And even though we are very excited to reach as many places in the world as we did, this year we are hoping to exceed the number of nominations again. This would not only mean that the International Children's Peace Prize is recognised by even more players in the field, but this would also mean that even more children are recognised for their hard work, their drive for a better world in which children's rights are respected and carried out.

Every year the KidsRights Foundation organizes the International Children's Peace Prize. This Prize is awarded annually to a child, whose courageous or otherwise extraordinary efforts have made an impact on behalf of the Rights of the Child. The Children's Peace Prize was awarded so far posthumously to Nkosi Johnson from South Africa, to Om Prakash Gurjar from India, to Thandiwe Chama from Zambia, to Mayra Avellar Neves from Brazil and last year to Baruani Ndume from The Democratic Republic of Congo, now living in a refugee camp in Tanzania.

 The Children's Peace Prize includes prize money, which will be invested by KidsRights in specific projects related to the struggle for peace and children's rights of the winner. Therefore this year projects will be supported to improve the rights of youth in refugee camps.

This year the International Children's Peace Prize will be celebrated on the Day of the Rights of the Child: the 20th of November 2010. We would like to invite you to inform us about the children you meet and work with and whom you feel might be a good candidate for this Prize.

Please find attached the nomination form 2010, which you can use if you would like to nominate a child that has a history of standing up and fighting for the rights of him or herself and other children in his/her country.

The final date for sending in the nomination form this year will be May 1st, 2010. You can email the form to: info@childrenspeace prize.org.

The nomination form as well as additional information can also be downloaded from our website: www.childrenspeacep rize.org.

If you have any questions or comments, please let us know. We will be glad to assist you in any way we can.
