Children play on a water slide during UNRWA Summer Fun Weeks.
Thanks to a donation from the Government of Finland, over 150,000 children in Gaza are participating in Summer Fun Weeks 2013, a two-week summer programme organised by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The programme features activities designed to encourage creativity and a psychosocial well-being like football, kite flying, drawing, and traditional games.

The UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) is continuing to work with national and international agencies to clear Port-au-Prince of the piles of debris left over from the earthquake that struck the city on 12 January, 2010.

Beginning their work on this year’s UN Day (24 October), Ghanaian engineers with the UN mission in Mali (MINUSMA) renovated a school in Taliko, a marginalized neighbourhood of Bamako. The school had hosted several displaced families after deadly flash floods hit the Malian capital this summer.
