| Ivi Adamou with the Director- General of HFC , Mr. Joseph Varughese |
The appointment was made having in mind the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child and in particular article 12 thereof which places emphasis on that children have the right to participate in decision-making processes that may be relevant in their lives within the family, the school or the community. Children have the right to express their views in all matters affecting them and their views should be heard and given due weight in accordance with the child's age and maturity.
Ivi Adamou, through her popularity with the public and young people in particular and with her sweet image was chosen as the ideal ambassador to promote healthy behaviors and principles in children, encouraging their participation in the decision-making.

About the Cause
Rotaract Club of Limassol Amathusia will be joining forces with 'Hope for Children'– UNCRC Policy and Ivi Adamou, to raise both funds and awareness for the
‘Beat Bullying’ campaign of Hope for Children – UNCRC.
The campaign seeks to raise awareness both within the education community and the public at large and to create a code identification, prevention and treatment of the phenomenon of bullying and cyber-bullying.
The campaign is radically innovative in that that the psycho-education of children within the school will be made by peers. The children who will be selected and trained by practitioners to act as ambassadors against school bullying in schools will be selected based on their awareness, skill and popularity amongst their peers. The idea is based on the premise that children are some times more receptive of messages when they come from their peers or other young people.
During the meeting, each club will present themselves and its members, their past and future projects and events.
