It's right for all children to have the things they need.
It's not right for some kids to have them when other kids don't.
It's right for every child to be able to go to the doctor and to have medicine when he or she is sick.
It's right for every child to have clean water – not just one glass, but enough for drinking, bathing, cooking food, and clean clothes.
It's right for every child to have enough good food – not just one meal a day.
It's right for every child to have a place to live where adults can help to keep them safe.
It's right for every child to have the chance to go to school and to play and rest.
It's right for every child to have the chance to speak up and be heard and to make a difference for other kids.
