Blanche Fehlberg, Nairn Tokumasu. On October 24, 1987 the United Nations celebrated its 42nd birthday. In recognition of this event, Javier Perez de Cuellar, Secretary-General of the United Nations, sent a message to the children of the world asking them to take a few moments to think about the words of the U.N. charter signed in San Francisco in 1945. In part, the charter says: “To save succeeding generations from the scourge of war” we will “..practice tolerance and live together in peace..as good neighbors.” SAIS-R, with 56 nationalities represented, is a mini-United Nations and a living example of understanding and appreciation of different cultures. Mrs. Frankie Morgan, Intermediate School Librarian, invited students in grades four through six to participate in a series of events focused on the role of the United Nations and the remembrance of its 42nd birthday. The children were encouraged to write letters to the Secretary-General and to attend a special presentation given by a UN representative, Ms. Nada al-Asaad. 197 letters were collected from Intermediate students and were forwarded to the United Nations in New York. Twelve of the best were chosen for special recognition and those children received UN flag kits containing flags of all the member nations. It was a special event and one in which Intermediate students learned a great deal about the U.N. Happy birthday, United Nations!
