Nato Summit 2014: 'Happiness is better than sadness, laughing is better than fighting'.. the touching messages from Welsh schoolchildren to world leaders

Pupils at Welsh primary schools gathered with First Minister Carwyn Jones to reveal personal messages to world leaders coming to Wales for Nato summit.



Primary school children from across Wales have sent messages of hope to world leaders as the world descends on South Wales for the start of the Nato summit.

A total of 30 nine and ten-year-old children gathered outside the National Assembly in Cardiff Bay, alongside First Minister Carwyn Jones, to reveal their individual messages to world leaders as they arrive for the crucial summit at Celtic Manor in Newport.

The children are from Ysgol Pencae in Cardiff, Mount Pleasant Primary School and Pillgwenlly Primary School in Newport, Ysgol Gymraeg Aberystwyth, Ysgol yr Hendre in Caernarfon and Adran yr Urdd Treuddyn in Flintshire.

Five of the children will personally deliver the postcards on behalf of their schools , attending a reception hosted by the Prince of Wales at the Celtic Manor on the first day of the summit.

The bilingual postcards included messages calling for end to conflicts, tolerance of people in different faiths and for work to alleviate poverty and hunger in answer to the question “what would you like to have changed in the world by the time you are adults?”
