DESCRIPTION:United Nations Day Brings Refugee Crisis Awareness\n\nOctober 24th is 
 United Nations Day. This day has been celebrated as United Nations Day 
 since 1948 and marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the 
 UN Charter. With the ratification of this founding document by the majority 
 of its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security 
 Council, the United Nations officially came into being. With its 
 ratification, The UN has helped to facilitate a great leap forward in 
 global negotiation and cooperation while stopping famine, averting wars and 
 giving the world hope. \n\nThis year the United Nations Association of 
 Santa Cruz County invites you to a UN Day celebration at the Resource 
 Center for Nonviolence (612 Ocean St. Santa Cruz, CA) on Saturday October 
 28th from 1:00pm till 4:00pm. The event will focus on the U.N.’s work 
 surrounding refugees and will feature a film highlighting the realities 
 children face while growing up in the world’s largest refugee camp 
 followed by a discussion the crisis facing the Rohingya people.\n\nThe 
 United Nations has recently requested $430 million in aid from the 
 international community to assist the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. 
 Rohingyas are stateless Indo-Aryan people from Rakhine state, Myanmar and 
 are categorized as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. 
 Around 40,000 Rohingyas have settled in India. Since the latest flare-up of 
 violence against the community in Myanmar this year, many more thousands of 
 Rohingyas have fled the state, pouring into nearby countries like 
 Bangladesh seeking refuge.\n\nPlease join us Saturday, October 28TH for a 
 film and discussion as your local United Nations Association brings 
 community awareness to this global tragedy.\n\n
