Voices Inside the United Nations

来自联合国的声音

One of the most impactful events of the day was during the morning assembly when students gathered in the auditorium to listen to guest speakers from the UN. Helen Hai, Goodwill Ambassador for Africa, began by speaking of her work with African countries in order to build their economies. She explained that when the United Nations works to help countries build self-sustainable economies, the entire global community benefits.

当天最有意义的一个活动是同学们齐聚礼堂聆听来自联合国的嘉宾、非洲亲善大使Helen Hai的演讲。Helen Hai 讲述了她和非洲国家人们工作以建设他们国家经济的故事。她解释道，当联合国帮助各个国家建立自立的、可持续发展的经济之后，全世界都从中获益。
