I HEAR YOU Munyal deefan hayre. Fulfudle (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Mali, Sudan, and Togo) Patience can cook a stone. (English) With patience, one can achieve unimaginable . (Meaning) Publisher’s note Our Children: Our Future! The United Nations, through its resolution 836 (IX) of 14 December 1954, recommended that all countries institute the Universal Children’s Day, observed on November 20th. The aim is to actively highlight the danger children face around the world as well as to create a better environment for them. TELL ME SOMETHING Having in mind the vulnerability of children and the dangers they face in our society, it can be myopic for one to believe that the realization of the goals of the Universal Children’s Day is solely the responsibility of the various governments and institutions alone. Far from that. Everyone is expected to play an important and active role to achieve the goals of the Universal Children Day. Are you a mother, father, pastor, doctor, nurse, teacher, government leader, community chief, elder, civil servant, you are directly or indirectly responsible for the welfare of children. It is, therefore, your duty to show support and help make our children good leaders of tomorrow. Definitely, the best way to secure the future of our kids is through granting them the basic human rights. From rights to life, education, health, play, to the unconditional protection of children against violence, harm, abuse (child labour, human trafficking, sexual abuse etc.), our children need your serious support and total commitment.

The Kata Kata Village does not want to be left behind in pursuing this noble cause. Like Chief rightly argues, I strongly believe we want a happy and secure future for our children. For the Kata Kata Village that strongly believes in the relationship between the living and the dead, the unconditional commitment to the achievement of the Universal Children’s Day cannot be underestimated. Imagine how happy elders of the Kata Kata village would be, knowing that their children left behind would be good ambassadors of tomorrow! Yes, our children can carry on from where we stopped. But we need to make the road smooth for them. Indeed, we must lay a solid foundation necessary for these children to take over from us. The UNO needs your priceless efforts and serious commitment. So does the Kata Kata Village. Are you ready for this important task? If yes, join the Kata Kata Village’s efforts aimed at creating a better world and future for our kids. The queue is getting longer every minute, so make hay while the sun shines Yours in Kata Kata, Ogo Ubabukoh Editor in chief / Publisher www.katakata.org NOV 2017 Issue <strong>16</strong> Kata kata cartoon magazine 5
