Children with vision for better world awarded with tablets from UNICEF

Ruel, 15, from Region 9, shared his vision for a more sustainable world for UNICEF Guyana’s #Reimagine #IllustrationChallenge. ‘Rural areas will be transformed to big, green towns or cities powered by solar or wind energy. Carbon emissions will decrease moving to a greener world’.

UNICEF Representative Nicolas Pron yesterday presented three of the winners of UNICEF Guyana’s Reimagine Illustration Challenge with Samsung tablet computers.

For World Children’s Day 2020, the local UNICEF office challenged Guyanese children between the ages of 8 and 18 years to draw and submit their vision of a better world for every child. A release yesterday from UNICEF said that over two dozen submissions were received, each expressing  diverse themes, such as, a vision for a greener and more sustainable world, a future without discrimination, a safer world, a more inclusive world, a healthier world, a world of more opportunities, a happier world and the future of mental health and education, among other themes. According to UNICEF, twelve submissions were selected to be featured in UNICEF Guyana’s Annual Calendar.
