United Nations Day

     The 24th October, each year is the International United Nations Day. This followed a declaration by the United Nations General Assembly in 1947 which designated 24th of October, the anniversary of the Charter of the United Nations, as United Nations Day, by proclaiming that the day would be instrumental in making people aware and it shall be devoted in making known to the people of the world the aims and achievements of the United Nations and to gain their support for its work.
     United Nations Day in the Philippines is mostly observed in schools and government offices. Traditionally, students and employees dress up in different national costumes or traditional clothing of different nations. The aim of celebrating such a day, the United Nations Day, is the essential celebration of the values which this organization spells forth-the principles of humanity, unity, and world peace. the most important thing that we shall remember why we celebrate United Nations Day is diversity. This day reminds us about acknowledging and accepting cultural diversity whole-heartedly.
     With all these things mentioned, United Nations Day is worth-celebrating. It is truly significant to all individuals globally. And as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says, “The United Nations works for the entire human family of seven billion people, and cares for the earth, our one and only home.”
