Every year on June 1, International Day of the Child, Holt‑supported children around the world celebrate the biggest birthday party of the year — all thanks to Holt sponsors and donors like you!
In Ethiopia, this most recent celebration was one children won’t soon forget.
Children of all ages danced and sang together as laughter and music filled the air. They played games, watched acrobatic performances and enjoyed favorite foods. Each child opened a gift picked out just for them — a small reminder that they are seen, known and worth celebrating.
And the smiles say it all.
Here are some of the moments you made possible for children in Ethiopia last year:
