Youth celebrate 70th anniversary of UN in Islamabad

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN: Pakistani youth are celebrating the 70th anniversary of the United Nations by sharing messages of peace and tolerance on the walls of their schools.

The UN Wall campaign was officially launched here on Friday at the Roots College International Millennium Campus, where students painted on a prominent wall of the school powerful messages such as “Boys and girls are equal”, “We want a corruption free society”, “Children should be in school, not at work”, said a press release here.

The campaign makes reference to the Pakistani tradition of “wall chalking” and aims at engaging young people from all over the country to disseminate the key values of the United Nations focused on education, gender equality, peace and tolerance, health among others.

“I want to tell the world that we are a peace loving country. I am glad that I am a part of this amazing effort to spread messages of tolerance and peace through art. We all are uniting for a common cause, a peaceful world, a peaceful Pakistan” said Harris Malik a student from Roots Millennium School.

Chaudhry Faisal Mushtaq, CEO & Founder Roots Millennium School and Vittorio Cammarota, Director of the UN Information Centre, welcomed guests including some of the most prominent dignitaries from the Government and private sector who participated in the ceremony.

Development and progress are in the hands of youth and we want to ensure that every day, when they go to school, they remember of peace, tolerance and other key values”, said Vittorio Cammarota Director, UN Information Centre.

Faisal Mushtaq, CEO Roots Millennium Schools added: “The idea of UN Wall helps raise awareness about some of the key issues faced by us and our society. It also gives the students an opportunity to contribute to the work of the United Nations. I feel great that the students are highlighting messages related to gender equality, climate change and education to express solidarity and support for this cause”.
