Now let me tell you about the work I have been doing with the UN. My job with the UN is not paid but voluntary, and I said before, I visit countries where the UN has programmes to help people. So,
do I help by visiting these countries? Well,
I visit these countries, the television and press will follow and record my visits. This will increase people’s knowledge of the work of the UN. In addition, my visits will encourage people
are working on the projects and draw local people’s attention
the situation.
I have visited many countries in Africa. Recently, I was fortunate to travel to South Africa, where I met some women who have organized themselves into a group. They collect approximately 1.35 yuan per day from each member and add
to some money contributed by the government. With this, the women have enough money to acquire materials to make baskets. They then sell these at the market for
profit. With luck their group will be able to expand and maybe set up a shop. Such programmes can transform people’s lives by giving them the ability to provide for themselevs and their families.
