UN Celebration

Every year, we celebrate United Nations Month to commemorate our unity with other nations, helping each other build a better place for all of us to live in. For this year, we are celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with the theme is "Coming together with those furthest behind to build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity."

Universal rights are applicable not only to one person, but everyone. They are inclusive of human rights where everyone is treated equally, regardless of race. Second, there is 'dignity' which means self-respect and self-esteem, among others. With this in mind, one goal of UN is equality, the reason behind why we work with other nations is to build a bridge that connects everyone's lives. Through UN, we learn to reach out to others that are less fortunate in various communities. We start from very little yet well-appreciated efforts in places where we live in.  It’s not just the big things that matter, but small things that can give out big results are also important.

We have also understood that 'self-respect' is important in achieving the goal of this year's theme. Self-respect allows us to be the better people., We dignify ourselves without putting other people down. We become the persons that we should be with our understanding and practicing of self-respect.

With all these said, we are now given the chance to build the bridge that will help us connect with other people in our community. We eradicate poverty, one of the causes of death in a nation's progress, by learning to value equality. Together, we must put to heart all these things in the hope that one day, we can uplift not just ourselves but all others in the world that we live in.
