Wishing my colleagues in Brazil happy “Dia das Criancas” or Children’s Day! This day is celebrated by all families in Brazil. The children receive gifts from their respective parents. This day is marked as a holiday and has been the tradition since 12th October, 1923. This was the occasion when the capital of Brazil at that time, Rio de Janeiro, hosted South American Congress for Children. One year after that special event, the city established a holiday in remembrance of Children’s Day. In various other countries around the world, Children’s Day is celebrated in some countries on 14th November while in others, it is celebrated on 20th November and this is the date which has been set by the United Nations’ Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).
