#AzulPorLaInfancia (Go blue on World Children’s Day)

Every November 20, the most emblematic places in the world light up blue for children's rights in commemoration of the historic adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

This year Venezuela also joins in lighting three iconic sites in the country in blue: the Plaza Venezuela Fountain in Caracas, the Zulia State Museum of Contemporary Art (MACZUL) in Maracaibo, and La Navidad Park in Puerto Ordaz.
