Children's Day November

November 18th, 2009

Children are important to the United Nations, and rightfully so. This world organization deals with issues and rights of all kinds of people, and gives a voice to issues that concern everyone. Universal Children’s Day, Nov. 20, marks the day on which the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. The day is to highlight the welfare of children, with an emphasis on concerns such as health and education for the poorer parts of the world. But its also a good time to show the younger ones in your life that they are loved and important.

To show it with food, try this quick and kid-friendly fruit pizza, they will LOVE it!


** FRUIT PIZZA **
Ingredients
prepared, uncooked sugar cookie dough
8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup cool whip
2 tsp. vanilla
