In pictures: Mossneuk Primary kids take part in UNICEF's Day for Change event

KIDS of all ages turned out in colourful dress to represent different Commonwealth countries as they learned about the work of UNICEF and why a day can make all the difference to children who live in poverty.

Pupils at Mossneuk Primary School have been learning what a difference a day can really make.

They took part in UNICEF’s Day for Change on Friday when each child made a £1 donation to swap their uniform for a more colourful mode of dress.

The children were asked to dress as a country from the Commonwealth for the event ... and they did with great imagination and enthusiasm.

They learned all about the work of UNICEF, which works predominantly in countries to support children who do not have their basic rights to clean water, healthcare, education, etc.

This year’s Day for Change focused on education as they discovered some 68 million children around the world still don’t have access to education.

Money raised on the day will go to UNICEF, which the children’s charity is working to change by giving every child the opportunity to go to school.

The official Day for Change date was Friday, February 7, but schools can hold theirs anytime that suits during the academic year.

Taking part is simple! All the charity ask is that pupils take a day to think about the importance of education, and learn about children’s school experiences all over the world.

They also ask that participating schools support UNICEF by raising money. Fundraising efforts will help make a lasting change for even the most disadvantaged children.
