Hi,
Today is United Nation's Day in recognition of all who serve and participate in this world organization. The UN is dedicated to world peace, promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moo said, "UN Day is a day on which we resolve to do more. More to protect those caught up in armed conflict, to fight climate change and avert nuclear catastrophe; more to expand opportunities for women and girls, and to combat injustice and impunity; more to meet the Millennium Development Goals."
The UN has adopted a global action plan to achieve 8 goals by their 2015 target date:
• Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
• Achieve universal primary education
• Reduce child mortality
• Ensure environmental sustainability
• Improve maternal health
• Develop a global partnership for development
• Promote gender equality and empower women
• Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Through Maji Mazuri we are all participating in a very special way towards achieving these audacious goals for the welfare of humanity, so happy United Nations Day:-)
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Wanjiku
