The UN Verification Mission in Colombia (UNVMC) and Colombia's Reintegration and Normalization Agency (ARN) supported the Rotary Club on a two-day medical mission to Colinas, a territorial area for training and reintegration in the Guaviare department. A team of cardiologists, urologists, optometrists, orthopedists, gynecologists, dentists and pediatricians, attended to more than 700 people over the course of the mission, including former FARC-EP (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—People's Army) combatants, their families, and others from nearby local communities.

United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and actress, producer, director and artist, holds up her duck built with LEGO bricks during the panel discussion on the International Day of Play (11th June). Casper Aarlit Jensen, Senior Facilitation Manager at LEGO Foundation, asked participants to build a duck with the help of six pieces of LEGO bricks at the start of the panel discussion.

The first-ever International Day of Play marks a significant milestone in efforts to preserve, promote, and prioritize playing so that all people, especially children, can reap the rewards and thrive to their full potential. Beyond recreation, it is a universal language spoken by people of all ages, transcending national, cultural, and socio-economic boundaries. Play helps children develop the cognitive, physical, creative, social, and emotional skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

The event is co-organized by United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in collaboration with Permanent Missions of Bulgaria, El Salvador, Jamaica, Kenya, Luxembourg and Viet Nam.

Headline MINUSTAH Finances Rehabilitation of Home for Elderly in Port-au-Prince

Caption Description The Civil Affairs Section of the UN Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) is overseeing and financing a rehabilitation project worth approximately US $100,000 that will bring electricity, water and security to a 91-year-old state-run home for the elderly, located in the Bel Air neighborhood of the capital Port-au-Prince. The women’s wing of the cash-strapped home was destroyed in the January 2010 earthquake, and the facility currently houses 29 men and 36 women officially registered residents on the main floor of its formerly men’s wing, while the second floor houses additional elderly suffering from illnesses and, in some cases, members of their families. The rehabilitation project is expected to last three months, employing 15 craftspeople per day. The end result will be a facility with electricity, running water, a clean and ventilated kitchen area, clean showers and toilet facilities, secure rooms, and a generally safe environment.
