They came from Nepal, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, and from mountainous areas in Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, as well as the districts of Uttarakhand. From 17-21 May 2002, during the first International Conference of Mountain Children in Dehradun, India, they worked on the framework for this forum and identified the issues they want to address. They overcame differences in language, culture, nationality, religion, class, and socieoeconomic levels and impressed the everyone who saw them with their energy, idealism and determinination to improve their lives and the lives of other children. On May 21st, 2002 they lit a light, which we hope will spread across the world and illuminate the lives of children everywhere. During the conference, delegates to the ICMC and the Uttarakhand State Children's Secretariat produced a declaration of issues the young people felt needed to be addressed.
