    Idaho Senators Support DIA De Los NINOS

    Posted on: May 05, 2008

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Idaho Senators Larry Craig and Mike Crapo today hailed Senate passage of a resolution to designate April 30th as “Dia de los Ninos: Celebrating Young Americans.” The Senators were among seven co-sponsors of the measure, which was unanimously adopted by the U.S. Senate on April 28, 2008.

    Dia de los Ninos, or Day of the Children, is celebrated throughout the world, especially in Latin America, as a way to honor a nation’s young people. Many families of Hispanic descent have continued this custom, and this resolution calls on all of America’s families to join with them and other community groups in recognition of this day.

    “Our children are our future and it is important that older generations find ways to spend time with them and encourage them in the pursuit of their dreams,” Craig said. “Dia de los Ninos is such a day, and I hope all Idahoans will learn about and embrace this custom.”

    “Celebrating Dia de los Ninos gives us a way to commemorate Idaho’s deep Latino roots while honoring our children,” Crapo added. “It is a holiday celebrated by many countries to recognize and celebrate the importance of children, and I am honored to be a co-sponsor of this resolution. Sharing in the diverse cultural traditions of others will go a long way to ensuring a positive future for our children.”
