World Humanitarian Day Celebrated At WPDRF
“There is no stamp of religion nor caste on the baby when he is born to mother, we, with our own wish, decide to divide the human beings into different categories but the reality is that we have one religion and that is humanity” said Sandeep Marwah President of World Peace Development and Research Foundation on the celebration of Humanitarian Day at Marwah Studios.
World Humanitarian Day is a time to recognize those who face danger and adversity in order to help others. The day was designated by the General Assembly to coincide with the anniversary of the 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq, which killed 22 UN staff.
Every day humanitarian aid workers help millions of people around the world, regardless of who they are and where they are. World Humanitarian Day is a global celebration of people helping people.
“this years campaign ”I Was Here” is about making your mark by doing something good, some where, for someone else” said Secretary General Ban Ki moo.
