We thought it would be appropriate to end the day of celebrations with the choir singing an African Celebration Song. We hope you enjoyed sharing the Day of the Africa Child with us. #windhoekhighschool #DayOfTheAfricanChild | Windhoek High School

Happy 'Day of the African Child' to every Nigerian and African child. Children’s rights to survive, speak and be heard can’t be given and can’t be taken away. They are inherent and inalienable - something every girl and boy carries with them from birth. On this Day of the African Child, we’re supporting children to demand what they are owed. #DAC2021 Music : 'Duduke' by Simi | UNICEF Nigeria
