16 June - Father's Day

There is a good tradition in the modern world to celebrate Fathers' Day every third Sunday in June. Father's Day is a great opportunity to express gratitude and appreciation to dads for their love, support and invaluable contribution to the upbringing of children.

Fatherhood is not just a biological connection, it is a daily labour and responsibility. A father's duty is to be an example for his children, a support for the whole family. In everyday worries and the fast pace of life it is important to remember that our children look up to us and learn from the example of their parents. They need good advice and support. A father is a friend, helper and mentor.

I would like to encourage all dads to be active participants in their children's lives, support them in all their endeavours and strive to create a safe and prosperous environment for their growth and development. Let every child feel love, care and attention from his father.

Happy Fathers' Day! May your role in the lives of your children be a source of pride and joy, and your efforts be recognised and appreciated.
