ANTELIAS, Lebanon - In a recent Pontifical message addressed to the
Prelates and the faithful, His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the
Great House of Cilicia declared 2011 as the year when all Prelacies
should give special attention to the problems and concerns related to
children and reflect on the `UN Convention on Children's Rights.'
The declaration follows a decade of activism on global issues by
Catholicos Aram I, who has been trying to raise awareness about social
and human issues and their impact on the lives of different members of
the community.
The `Year of the Child' comes after the `Year of Women.' It is his
wish that at the end of the year, there will be a vision statement
similar to the one written for women. Such a statement will help
communities embrace children's issues and empower them toward their
future responsibilities, as they are the future of the church and the
community.
