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.

We neglected to discipline our children and called it 'building self esteem'. We have abused power and called it 'politics'. We have converted our neighbour's property and called it 'ambition'. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it 'freedom of expression'. We have ...
