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.

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.
