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.
