As the Day for Daniel (27/10/2023) approaches, we find ourselves on the precipice of a profoundly important event dedicated to child safety awareness. On October 27th, Harmony Web proudly joins hands with the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, an organisation unwavering in their commitment to empowering children with crucial safety knowledge.
Why Day for Daniel Matters
Day for Daniel is Australia’s largest child safety education and awareness day, advocating for safer communities for children and empowering them to Recognise, React and Report when they feel unsafe. This national day of action is an initiative of the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, established in 2005 by Denise and Bruce Morcombe following the important message Daniel left us.
Wear Red, Educate and Donate
The catch cry for Day for Daniel is ‘Wear Red, Educate and Donate’. This rallying call urges schools, early learning services, businesses, and communities across Australia to conduct child safety activities and raise vital funds to create safety resources for children.
Why Do We Wear Red?
We are encouraged to wear red on Day for Daniel in remembrance of Daniel Morcombe. Daniel was wearing a red t-shirt on 7 December 2003 when he found himself in a situation he didn’t feel safe in. Wearing red links Daniel’s very real story to the importance of safety education. It provides a message of strength and hope that together we can make the world safer for all children as a legacy to Daniel and his family.
