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
For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust ...
