The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization.
Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution.
On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies.
Some of them may be later adopted by the General Assembly. There are no UN days for January but there are for the rest of the months.
Our themes for each month would be as follows by God’s grace-
February – Social Justice
March – Nature aka Forest
April – Who’s WHO? aka Health
May – Light aka Communication
June – Labour aka Work
July – Traffic aka Slavery and Bondage
August – Youth aka Family
September – Literacy aka Learning
October – Non-Violence aka Girls to Women
November – Sanity aka Balance aka Extra-Curricular Activities
December – Solidarity
But note that 24th of October is the United Nations day.
In the course of the year, join us in carrying out the various activities lined up in accordance with our themes. Remember that our cardinal projects are to distribute freely- Complete Bibles, Devotionals, Books, CDs, Tracts, Comics; send out bulk SMS, emails; organize film-shows, seminar, workshops; make donations; paste posters; share via our write-ups on-line; and extra which involves redistribution of clothes, shoes, food, toiletries, provisions and other necessaries.

#January
Our TLF 2 Day Event started on Thursday and ended yesterday Friday. We had the person of Mrs Ishioma Francis who came to share good news with the children. We had Art competition and prizes were given. We had spelling bee and gifts were given. We had skipping competition and gifts were given. We had recitation of poems originally written by the children and gifts were given. We also used the opportunity to remind everyone of our theme for August. We shared our drinks and biscuits and everyone had a nice time. The children interacted and had a nice time. It came to a happy end and everyone went back home safely. We look forward to more activities such as these. We thank God for the success and blessings. God bless all those who contributed in various ways. Remember that, the ultimate law is love. TLF
