DÍA DEL NIÑO

A Cultural And Educational Celebration

The Children’s Diabetes Foundation held an educational booth at Día del Niño (Day of the Child) at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science on April 28th. Día del Niño is an annual celebration throughout Mexico and many countries and cultures around the world. It celebrates children, pays homage to their importance in society, and endorses their wellbeing.

Over 12,000 people flooded the museum for this free day with extra educational and cultural games and activities. The CDF booth educated people about diabetes through games, taught them that diabetes is not contagious, can be diagnosed at any age, is not caused by diet or lack of exercise, and cannot be cured.

The Día del Niño event at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is co-created in partnership with the Mexican Cultural Center. The Children’s Diabetes Foundation is proud to partner with the Mexican Cultural Center on this initiative.
