Today, the youth of Never Again International - Canada are marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation by remembering the atrocities that took place at residential schools. We honour the survivors of residential schools and remember those who did not return home. Known as Orange Shirt Day, this day draws its name from the story of Phyllis (Jack) Webstad, whose orange shirt — a gift from her grandmother — was confiscated on her first day at a residential school in 1973. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation estimated that more than 4,100 children died while attending the schools. #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay

Youth change makers with Never Again International - Canada promote peace and gender equality worldwide, and advocate in their communities to mitigate the effects of climate change. Our peacebuilding programs are contributing to the prevention of violence, education on peacebuilding and human rights issues and empower children to be stewards of their environment and voices for humanity. By educating children to become human rights advocates we are planting seeds of hope and training children to become advocates of global peace with an understanding of humanitarianism, environmental stewardship and social justice.

Never Again International - Canada works directly with vulnerable children in conflict zones to empower youth who advocate for peace, gender equality, education and the protection of human rights and the environment. Our young peace champions are promoting justice and asking for action to build an equitable and sustainable future. Can you support their efforts by empowering one of our young peace advocates to receive an education? Currently a lack of school fees means that some of the children will not be able to return to school this year.
