SUMMARY : Designates April 30, 2009, as "El Dia de los Ninos:
Children's Day" and requests that the State of California
observes the day with appropriate ceremonies and includes
activities that focus on persuading children to express their
aspirations and dreams in life, including all members of the
family to promote greater communications, and helping children
develop confidence to become great leaders and members of
society. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1)The Latino community in California continues the Mexican
tradition of honoring their children on April 30 and wishes to
share this tradition with the rest of the state.
2)Children represent the hopes and dreams of the citizens of
California and should be nurtured and invested in, in order to
preserve and enhance democracy, the American spirit, and
economic prosperity.
3)Various countries, including the United States, have
designated a "Children's Day" which was first celebrated
worldwide in October 1953, under the sponsorship of the
International Union for Child Welfare in Geneva, Switzerland.
