Head of the Bali Province Social Service and P3A, Luh Ayu Aryani, said that this activity aims to increase children's capacity regarding nationalism, diversity and brotherhood as well as strengthening children's character. Apart from that, this activity aims to increase the role of children as pioneers and reporters in fulfilling children's rights and protection while providing information and knowledge to increase children's capacity according to their talents, interests and abilities. The 40th National Children's Day in Bali Province was celebrated with welcoming dance performances, poetry readings and vocal exercises from the children of the Udyana Wiguna Children's Orphanage. The event was attended by representatives from various agencies such as OJK, PT. Bank BPD Bali, Bali Regional Police Chief, as well as all related Heads of Bali Province Regional Apparatus.
