Protect Play, Protect Childhood

International Day of Play, which is today, June 11th, reminds us that play is more than just fun—it's essential for growth, learning, and well-being.

Play is a universal language that brings people together across cultures and communities. It helps children build friendships, develop creativity, strengthen problem-solving skills, and grow emotionally, socially, and physically.

For children facing challenges or trauma, play can also provide healing, resilience, and hope. Every child deserves the chance to play, learn, and reach their full potential.

At our partner organization in India, the staff understands that play is an important part of childhood.

Just look at these photos of our amazing kids laughing, playing together, and simply enjoying being children. Moments like these help build friendships, confidence, creativity, and joy!

Right now, 28 children in Brazil are still waiting to experience the love, encouragement, and support of a sponsor.

One of those children is Ana — a bright sixth grader with a beautiful smile and big dreams for her future. She loves playing video games and volleyball and especially enjoys math class at school. One day, Ana hopes to become either a teacher or professional volleyball player!

And honestly… how could you not love that smile?

Ana is just one of 28 children currently waiting for someone to remind them they are seen, valued, and deeply loved. Could that someone be you?
