Yesterday was the UN day. A world celebration people don’t seem to talk about much. The UN is of course often criticised but we really depend on this amazing organisation for many things. Many countries in difficulties have a lot to thank to them!

So yesterday was a special radio show where Bhan ki moon had a talk with PSY Yes , the Gangnam style singer. Also Stevie wonder and sting gave a concert yesterday night.

All our wishes to Peace in the world!

Here is a short talk about the UN, just general stuff

The United Nations (abbreviated UN in English, and ONU in French and Spanish), is an international organization facilitating cooperation between the world nations

It facilitates:
