Happy United Nations Day!

Today is United Nations Day. It is the day that commemorates the Charter of the United Nations. In light of this we went to the TBL cinemas to watch the documentary "A Workshop for Peace" tonight. The event was hosted by the United Nations in Suriname. Admission was free and open to the public. I thought that many of the Surinamese would take the opportunity to check out a movie for free, but the main viewers were mainly Americans from different organizations.
The documentary shows the story of how the world's greatest architects representing many of the original member nations came together and created an architectural symbol for global Peace. It was very interesting to see the different designs that were presented in the process of finding the design for the building we have today. I've been to New York City several times, but never really went to see the building. Next time I am in New York City I will definitely have to stop by and take a glance of the structure in person.

I brought my camera last night to take pictures, but when I turned it on--battery exhausted. I didn't see the need to bring my video camera. I did start a YouTube channel tonight for SuriTam so I will be bringing my video camera everywhere. Below is a pamphlet they passed out about the United Nations in Suriname. I am glad to have this information, because I think I will inquire on a job with the UN. Feel free to share this information with anyone you know. Maybe you might want to work with the UN in Suriname...You never know!

Hoping for World Peace...
