GLOBAL VOTE 2014

There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace.

More than 57,982 schools in 104 countries have registered as Global Friend schools of the World’s Children’s Prize. Every year, millions of children all over the world participate in the World’s Children’s Prize (WCP) program – the world’s largest youth education initiative on human rights and democracy. So far, 36 million children have discovered that their votes count, and been empowered to demand respect for their rights.

DLDAV Model School Pitampura has joined the world’s largest annual educational programme for Children’s Rights across the globe under the aegis of World’s Children’s Prize for the Rights of the Child (WCPRC). On 17^th Oct 2014, we organized “Global Vote 2014” for the children to select their Child Rights Hero.

The three nominees for World’s Children’s Prize 2014, are Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan portrayed by Aditi Dwivedi of IX H, John Wood from USA played by Madhav of IX G and Indira Ranamagar from Nepal portrayed by Aditi Sood of IX A.

The students of classes VII, VIII and IX voted for these nominees and out of a total of 966 votes polled, Malala Yousafzai secured 485 votes, John Wood secured 378 votes and Indira Ranamagar secured 103 votes. These results have been sent to WCPRC and on the basis of results gathered from schools across the world, the World’s Children’s Prize was awarded to the nominees in the award ceremony to be held in Sweden on 29^th October 2014.
