For a few weeks we students, in preparation for the visit the Commissioner for Children honoured us with, talked a lot about the rights we children should have.
Among these rights, I should mention the right to our privacy, the right that we should all have a good education, the right that every child attends school, the right for medical treatment and the right of information. Other children's rights are to express their ideas, that they have a national day and the religion they desire. Another right is that children should be given free time, the right to play and the right for disabled people to additional help.
In our school, these rights are all being safeguarded to the full. But I know that in the world we live in there are many children without parents, child labourers, who from a very young age need to support their families in a clandestine way, not to mention children who have not yet reached 10 years and are already fighting in rebel wars, which are not theirs.
There are quite a number of adolescents who, when they reach 15 years of age, take the liberty to do what they like and these youngsters do not take notice of their rights and the obligations and duties they have to society.
May we take this opportunity to thank all those, particularly the Commissioner for Children and the school administration for ensuring that our rights are being safeguarded
