United Nations Day
The 24th of October is celebrated as United Day./It is a day
that belongs to everyone,/and it is celebrated in most countries
of the world./Some countries celebrate for a week instead of a
day./
In many parts of the world,schools have special programmes for
the day./Boys and girls in some communities decorate a UN tree./
In other communities,young people put on plays about the UN./Some
libraries exhibit children's art works from around the world./
Schools celebrate with the songs and dances of other countries,/
or give parities where foods of other countiries are served./
No matter how the day is celebrated,/the purpose of these
celebration is to help everyone understand the UN/ and the impo-
rtant roles it plays in world affairs.
The UN encourages people to learn about other lands and their
customs./In this way,people can gain a better understanding and
appreciation of peoples all over the world.
