Summer 2018 Roundup
Beyond the Rock Your World Challenge, members and board from UNA Westchester were active this late Spring and all summer long. Senior board members Dave Finch and Mary Seward Downes (pictured with a few friends, left) participated in a trip to DC to meet with our national representatives and lobby for support to the United Nations; we have also stepped up support efforts for UNAs Adopt A Future campaign. For many, a highlight was participation and contribution to the 67th Annual UN Department of Public Information NGO conference at UNHQ in New York City. The annual event, celebrated nearly every year during the United Nation's proud history, is an opportunity for the UN for sharing with civil society its main aspirations and concerns and as well as listening to and absorbing the ideas, questions, and concerns NGOs themselves bring to this important event. This annual, multi-day gathering of thousands from civil society, the media, UN staff at the highest levels, and global diplomats addresses broad ranging themes and challenges. The Conference Chair was Ms. Winny Byanyima, CEO of the globally recognized humanitarian agency, Oxfam. Communications Chair on the UNA Board, Patrick Sciarratta, was a co-chair, in charge of logistics for the event. The conference drew nearly 2300 registrants. Three short articles follow; full versions can be found on our website. The first is a Declaration from civil society, worldwide, as represented by global NGO leaders and others. The second is a special version written by and expressed through the youth, who comprised a surprising 44% of overall registration and attendance. The third article highlights a luncheon hosted by the World Peace Association, a new NGO making an impression during the UN DPI-NGO conference. Registering late, they decided to host a huge luncheon for ONLY the NGO delegates: i.e., no UN staff or high officials were invited. It was a very supportive gesture by a new member of the UN community and it did not go unnoticed by the many delegates who were randomly invited to attend the event, in the Delegates Dining Room on Opening Day. Their spiritual message of peace at all costs reflects growing international fervor and collaborative interest in the topic of peace-building. It might be said that it proves that every action has an equal but opposite reaction, even if - or especially because - the first action is dangerously isolationist. Three articles follow with links to Website. |

People-Centered Multilateralism: A Call to Action
“We the Peoples... Together Finding Global Solutions for Global Problems”
67th United Nations DPI NGO Conference
UN Headquarters, New York
22-23 August 2018
In June of 2016 in Gyeongju, Republic of Korea, We the Peoples committed ourselves to “an ethos of global citizenship.”
In that spirit, We the Peoples, gathered here in New York for the 67th United Nations DPI NGO Conference, commit ourselves to foster people-centered multilateralism to address global challenges. It is a multilateralism pledged equally to uplift those whose human rights are most under threat and to protect our planet by living in harmony with nature, a multilateralism that shares responsibility and accountability among all stakeholders. The ambition of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, driven by pressing transnational problems like climate change, demands the deeper and more equitable cooperation that we urge.
People-centered multilateralism requires expanding the role of civil society partnerships, especially with youth, to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Since more than half of the world's population is under 30 years old, young people are key partners in implementing the SDGs. Thus, on behalf of the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) assembled here, we adopt this Call to Action to ensure that the 2030 Agenda leaves no one behind.

Tomorrow's Leaders, Today: The Present On Their Own
“We the Future” - A Youth Declaration
“We the Peoples... Together Finding Global Solutions for Global Problems”
67th United Nations DPI NGO Conference
United Nations Headquarters, New York
Preamble
We, the young peoples of the world gathered at the 67th United Nations DPI/NGO Conference, join our voices and efforts to uphold the value of multilateralism and re-commit ourselves to seeking global solutions for global problems, including but not limited to, achieving the targets set forth in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Youth, with our unique capacities and vibrant energy, are propelling humanity’s movement towards a new future. Today, millions of families are still trapped in extreme poverty, struggling to access even basic resources like education, healthcare and employment. Today, a quarter of the world’s youth still live in the shadows of violent conflict, everything from wars to human trafficking to substance abuse threaten to steal the promise of our tomorrow. And today, all on the planet earth are impacted by environmental degradation, communities of people and creatures are endangered by pollution, climate change, sea-level rising, and many other byproducts of human development. If we don’t join in concerted action now, we may not have an earth to live on tomorrow.

Promoting Peace as Entré:
22 August 2018, Delegates Dining Room, United Nations Headquarters, NYC -
The World Peace Association Luncheon 2018 at UNHQ in New York was greeted by Bruce Knotts, Chairman of the UN NGO/DPI Executive Committee. Chairman Knotts also delivered an important report on global peace development. Representatives of NGOs from various countries participated in the luncheon.
Participants in the Luncheon also included Professor Zhou Tianyuan, senior consultant to the World Peace Association; Professor Shaogong Chen of WPA's Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism section, Dr. Guo, World Development Foundation, and other important speakers.
Office Director of World Peace Association, Sherry Li explained the purpose of the World Peace Association and explored how NGO organizations may support global peace, harmony and sustainable development through country-to-country cooperation.
Eddy Ye, Assistant to Secretary General of the World Peace Association, gave a talk on how the World Peace Association resolved international and regional conflicts though its past work.
"Since ancient times," Mr. Ye said "war has brought profound disaster to human society, causing tremendous damage to people’s life and property. With the continuous development of science and technology, the cost of war for human beings has become unaffordable, unthinkable."
"In the last century, human society as experienced two world wars." He concluded, "they are the two greatest catastrophes in human history.
The First World War killed more than 10 million people and injured 22 million people, of whom 7 million were permanently disabled. Property damage was approximately $260 billion. In the Second World War, 60% of the world's countries and more than 2 billion people were involved in the war, resulting in more than 90 million casualties and more than $50 billion in property losses. It remains the largest war in human history.

UDHR NOW: A Challenge to Youth, County-wide
Superintendents, Principals, Teachers:
Take the UDHR NOW Challenge with your students:
Reading and Responding to the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
Today's youth want to be at the forefront of knowing and protecting human rights, across the nation and around the world. To that end, the UNA Westchester chapter is launching UDHR NOW, a challenge for educational communities of the greater Westchester area.
To help, we have partnered with Creative Visions Foundation, whose signature program, Rock Your World, provides middle and high school students (and their teachers!) with the tools they need to learn about the UDHR and to activate social change.
Learn more here.
The theme of UN Day this year is Human Rights Close to Home, and the Rock Your World program emerged from a seed of innovation planted close to home. It began within a Westchester school, was nurtured by devoted educators, and fed by impassioned students.
JOIN US FOR THE CHALLENGE
Engage your students (grades 5-12) in the #UDHRNow Challenge!
️ Students read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
️ Then they express their responses to the UDHR in creative ways, using multimedia,
the arts, music, poetry, film—anything that inspires them.
️Even better, students can team up to start a campaign based on real world issues
related to any aspect of the UDHR’s 30 articles!
Learn more about the Challenge!

Communicating Good News About the United Nations
Here's more on the next five top reasons why everyone should support the United Nations.
11. Alleviating Rural Poverty
The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) provides low-interest loans and grants to very poor rural people. Since 1978, IFAD has invested more than $15 billion, helping more than 430 million women and men to grow and sell more food, increase their incomes and provide for their families. Currently IFAD supports more than 240 programmes and projects in 147 countries.
12. Focusing on African Development
Africa continues to be a high priority for the United Nations. In 2001, African Heads of State adopted the continent’s own plan, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, which the General Assembly endorsed in 2002 as the main framework for channelling international support to Africa. The continent receives 36 per cent of UN system expenditures for development, the largest share among the world’s regions. All UN agencies have special programmes to benefit Africa.

UNA’s Adopt-A-Future Campaign
for Educating Refugee Children
Report on Fundraising for Adopt-A-Future to aid our adopted Gambela Primary School in Kenya’s Refugee Camps
As all members are aware, the UNA-USA’s Southern New York Coalition, of which Westchester Chapter is a part, made a commitment in 2017 to support Gambela Primary School in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. We then pledged to raise $30,000 to be used for constructing a sustainable classroom to accommodate forty school children for ten years, purchase school uniforms and books for the children, and train special teachers. There is so much overcrowding in schools to the extent that thousands of children are taught under trees in scorching sun and dusty environment. One refugee child recently described the situation this way; “my classroom is always overcrowded. I have to wake up very early to get to school as early 6:00am or 5:00am so that I could reserve my seat otherwise I sit on the classroom’s dirty floor during lessons”.
The good news, according to Kenya’s Ministry of Education report is this. “At the end of October 2017, thousands of refugee students in Kenya took part in the country’s national primary school exams (end of Middle school), known as the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). A 14-year-old among them, Magot Thuch Ayii, scored 413 points out of 500 in Kenya’s primary-school exam, becoming one of the top students in the country. Magot, who is from South Sudan, was a student at Cush Primary School in Kakuma Refugee Camp”.
