On October 24th, the local Santhapalem government school in Visakhapatnam’s 12th ward came alive with the spirit of the United Nations Organization (UNO) Day. In an innovative program designed by the dedicated teachers, students spoke about the importance of celebrating unity in diversity.
The day began with a colorful display of flags from various countries, each representing the rich background of cultures and traditions that make up our global community. Students proudly carried these flags, their eyes sparkling with excitement. The atmosphere was electric, filled with laughter and joy as students collaborated to prepare for the mock assembly.
Under the guidance and support of Principal Ch. Srinivasa Rao and teacher Smt. Vijayabhanu Kote, the students transformed the school’s auditorium into a miniature United Nations.
Each student took on the role of a representative from a different country, immersing themselves in research work to understand their assigned nation’s history, culture, and global contributions. This exercise not only educated them about international relations but also fostered a sense of empathy and appreciation for diverse perspectives.
The event concluded with a heartfelt pledge for peace and cooperation, echoing the fundamental principles of the United Nations. Parents and community members applauded the efforts of the students and teachers, recognizing the program as a powerful reminder of our shared responsibilities in fostering a harmonious world.
Through this engaging and educational event, the Santhapalem school not only celebrated UNO Day but also instilled in its students a deep understanding of global citizenship and the values of peace, tolerance, and cooperation.
