Child Rights and You

Here's how CRY - Child Rights and You brings smiles on the faces of children with the help of its #YellowFellow campaign.

Childhood is fun, adventurous, a constantly evolving learning experience, full of our first milestones and so much more. A person's childhood can be many things but what it definitely should be is happy. But a happy childhood doesn't happen on its own, does it? What truly makes a child feel happy and loved is the people around them who care for them, comfort them and help them grow. If you agree with that then, the #YellowFellow campaign by Child Rights and You is something you must know about!

Here's taking a look at CRY's #YellowFellow campaign and every little step that helped them bring smiles on the faces of hundreds of children across the country. With an aim to raise awareness and get as many helpers (Hey, even Santa needs them!) as they can to help ensure happy childhoods, CRY - Child Right and You urged people to use a pair of yellow socks in unique, creative and quirky ways and post a photo of themselves on their social media; tagging 3 friends to become a #YellowFellow as well. The engaging campaign saw posts coming from both kids and adults. Not just that, even famous Indian personalities joined CRY's efforts into spreading a word by becoming a #YellowFellow themselves!

I'm very thankful to my parents for never forcing me to colour inside the lines, for letting me make my walls the canvas & for never questioning why my peacocks looked like flowers instead of birds. They let me express myself, develop my own personality & allow me to correct by my own observations. Parents often try to micro-manage their children in order to "help them excel in everything they do". But life isn't just about "success" alone; it's about feelings, emotions & expression that makes us who we are as adults. Cheers to my parents for never forcing me to win awards or prizes & always rewarding me with appreciation for trying. That alone led me to want to work hard FOR MYSELF, not to impress them or my teachers! Also a big shout out to @cry_india for raising awareness & advocating happier childhoods. #YellowFellow . . . .

It feels so good to think that what I'm today is what I received yesterday. As a child, I remember I always got opportunities and medium to learn, play n have all sort of fun every child dreams to have. But, it is not merrier for one and all around? Even today I see people below poverty line putting their children on labour for their everyday living. Despite, it's not legal for a child under 18 to work, it's still happening. Recently I came across some random women(the story is wide to put down here) but what she said was so appreciable "I could not learn much, but I want my child to be something great, greater than what I even know in this world!" Every parent tries to give their child everything possible, but there are few who need a push and for them is @cry_india They are working for such beautiful souls since when I was not even born. They're running a campaign to spread awareness for supporting every child's childhood. Let's support. I m a #YellowFellow Are you? . . . . . . . . #life #wacom #wacomindia #adobe #seemedoodle #ballpitmag #followmyart #theuncommonbox #illustratorsoninstagram #foodblogger #travelblogger #artblogger #illustrationartists #instaartist #digitalartist #mumbaiartist #mumbai #goa #cafe #weloveillustration #comics #doodles #instagram #wednesday #mtblablabla

They didn't just reach out to people in the virtual world. CRY hosted a super cool gig at Carter Road, Bandra, Mumbai too. The evening was made all the more special with performances by Dharavi Rocks, ToTheCulture, and Dance Fitness By Bhakti.

I am sure you'll agree with me when I say that we live in a world where we rarely commit to anything - be it a career choice, a hobby or even a web series. But how many of you know that CRY has been dedicatedly working towards creating happy childhoods for 40 years? Yep! Let that sink in for a second, people.

CRY - Child Rights and You – celebrated 40 years of ensuring happier childhoods for India’s children with ‘Together For Children’ – an evening of stand-up comedy to raise awareness for every child’s right to a happy childhood. The evening saw none other than Rohan Joshi, Ashish Shakya and Preeti Das entertaining the audience and encouraging them to be a #YellowFellow themselves. While in Delhi, Indian Ocean did the same by giving their fans a musical evening to remember.
