UN Day at School

The kids' school celebrated the UN and the global community during a fall ceremony and fair.  Owen, sporting his Nationals gear,  MCed the event.  He added a "Go Nats" into his speech since the following week started the World Series.  The assembly opened with kids dressed in traditional clothes walking their countries flag across the stage.  Several Ambassadors, including Ambassador Traina, spoke to the group about the 17 sustainable development goals, especially focusing on the human right to education.

I am continuously amazed by the kids' education here and the focus on how to be better global citizens to create a sustainable future.  I'm not sure I had heard of the UN at their age.
