The forerunner of International Children’s Day stems from a pastor named Dr. Charles Leonard, pastor of the Universalist Church of Redeemer in Chelsea Massachusetts. Dr. Leonard held a special serving only for children.

For the first time International Children’s Day was planned in England on 20^th November 1954. The aim of this celebration is to encourage the welfare of children.

Well good readers, now I'll show u Children day in Chiengraknoi School in Thailand.

We started with the flag ceremony at 08.00 am. After that my Cooperating Teacher invited me to the school hall. There were so many students and teachers in there. We were waiting for the President Director to open this event.

President Director opened and showed special dance performance. I really enjoyed the dance performance of the President Director. Btw, he likes dancing and singing. He ever talked to me that, “I will teach you how to dance someday” haha.

In the middle of the performance, the committee of this event gave me coupon that could be exchanged for food freely.

Food coupon (Ice cream, Pad Thai, fried chicken, and orange juice)

I tried vanilla ice cream with sticky rice and nut toppings. It’s refreshed the mouth and sweet like me wkwk.

OK next, this is one of the famous Thailand foods Pad Thai. Pad Thai is made with soaked dried rice noodles, which are stir-fried with eggs and chopped firm tofu, and is flavored with tamarind pulp, fish sauce, dried shrimp, garlic, red chili, pepper and served with chopped roasted peanut topping. It will be one of my favorite foods from Thailand.
