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 Ethiopia's Crusade against Tuberculosis

Caption Description Tuberculosis is one of Ethiopia's major infectious diseases. It was found that of 114,580 people examined in 1963, 9,390 (or approximately 8%) of them were found to be victims of tuberculosis. As early as 1953, the Government, with the assistance of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), conducted a countrywide campaign to vaccinate people with BCG. Subsequently, the TB Demonstration and Training Centre was built by the Government in Addis Ababa, with equipment and medical supplies from WHO and UNICEF, to provide diagnostic services and treat ambulatory patients. The Centre also collects information on the incidence of tuberculosis throughout the country. In February 1963, the Centre extended its coverage to include the supervision of the newly-opened St. Peter's Tuberculosis Hospital. An important feature of the programme calls for training doctors, public health officers, community nurses, social workers and other medical personnel in techniques of tuberculosis prevention and treatment.
