With the pandemic, good quantities had been sold and, this year, it started slower due to inflation and we settled for sustaining or growing a little compared to last year”.
Why is Children’s Day celebrated?
Children’s Day or children’s day has been celebrated in Argentina since 1960 based on the UN recommendation that each country “set aside a day to promote the well-being of girls and boys with social and cultural activities”.
In this sense, the country established the third Sunday of August to celebrate the date, on a day where minors are protagonists, but, in addition, spaces for reflection are generated to promote and respect their rights.
