UN Day - October 24, 2013

The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 after the Second World War by 51 countries (now 193 members) committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights.  www.un.org

Stockholm International School has students from 61 countries (out of approx. 200 countries total). 
It was exciting and touching to watch hundreds of students at the Stockholm International School participate and take pride in their countries.  It was also interesting to see what country some kids chose to represent if their parents were from different countries.  Yes, it was challenging to identify all the flags... we have some studying to do!
