A socialist holiday, observed with school events and the reminder that 30% of Lao children are stunted due to malnutrition. The day is both celebration and call to action, and the government uses it to promote child health and education.
The day is observed with events for children, free admission to museums and parks, and the tradition of giving children small gifts.
