     "Mankind owes to the 
     
     child the best it has to 
     
     give." _ 
     
    

    
     1979 has been designated 
     
     the Internaticnal Year of 
     
     the Child by the United 
     
     Nations. This special 
     
     year has been established 
     
     as a neans to spur leaders 
     
     and citizens to take 
     
     permanent practical 
     
     neasures that will benefit 
     
     children. It was proposed 
     
     as an occasion to 
     
     reaffirm, not by words 
     
     alme, but by deeds that 
     
     the well-being of today's 
     
     dxildren is the cmcern 
     
     of people everywhere. 
     
    

    
     In Canada, ’a special 
     
     admission has been formed 
     
     to focus natimal 
     
     attention and enphasis on 
     
     daildren, and their rights 
     
     and needs. Provincially, 
     
     a committee has been 
     
     established on a voluntary 
     
     basis to promote the 
     
     observance in P.E.I. of 
     
     the International Year of 
     
     the Child. This committee 
     
     will work through the 
     
     encouragement of the wide— 
     
     spread involvement of 
     
     individuals, canmmities, 
     
     and activities designed to 
     
     advance the rights, 
     
     interests, and well—being 
     
     of children‘in the context 
     
     of their families and 
     
     society. The provincial 
     
     committee for the I.Y.C. 
     
     will operate from an office 
     
     in the Voluntary 
     
     Ibsources Centre'at 218 
     
     Kent Street in Charlottetown. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In order to make this 
     
     year a real success for our 
     
     children, a cooperative 
     
     effort between families, 
     
     ccmmmity groups, voluntary 
     
     agencies, professional 
     
     associations, the media, 
     
     and government will be 
     
     needed. Whether working on 
     
     a volunteer or professional 
     
     basis, many individuals 
     
     and groups have a role to 
     
     play, and actions to carry 
     
     out, with and for our 
     
    
   
   
    
     children. It should be - 
     
     expected that all groups 
     
     _should turn their attentim 
     
     to the needs of children in 
     
     P.E.I. during this year, and 
     
     help find ways by which 
     
     children's needs, rights, 
     
     and optimal development 
     
     might be enhanced. 
     
    

    
     Can ways be found that 
     
     will contribute to the 
     
     fulfillnent of each child's 
     
     special potentials for 
     
     physical safety, nental— 
     
     emotional, social, and 
     
     spiritual growth? How 
     
     might we in P.E.I. work 
     
     together to enhance the 
     
     child's ccncept of personal ' 
     
     identity and worth as
