United Nations’ Offspring In Full Gear in Connecticut

  Bridgeport, CT. – In this time of escalating wars, belligerent talks of divine borderlines and lack of cultural sensibilities, a group of concerned residents of the tristate area dared acting upon their dream of a more amiable world by founding the UNESCO Center for Global Friendship, Inc. (UCGF).

Formally recognized by the U.S. Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centers and Associations earlier this year, UCGF is a non-profit organization dedicated to build cultural bridges and create a more informed public by disseminating factual data about national and world problems as well as the activities of international organizations.  About 4,000 such groups are actively promoting the United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organizations’ values and principles worldwide.

“We provide educational materials and professional assistance to libraries in under-developed countries, and help develop free cultural programs, such as book fairs, lectures, cultural festivals and art exhibits, for American libraries”, explains Angelucci Manigat, Jr., the executive director of UCGF.

“We make cultural memory and diversity the forefront of our activities, as we celebrate major international days observed by UNESCO, including Holocaust Day, International Women Day, World Press Freedom Day, Friendship Day, Slavery Remembrance Day and AIDS Day,” adds Manigat.

This newly-formed United Nations’ offspring is actively looking for partnership with libraries, community media outlets, schools, museums and other organizations that share its goals. UCGF’s founding members such as Angelucci Manigat, Jr., Johnny Tranquille and Robert Pierre had successfully undertaken this kind of initiatives in the past to promote the ideals of UNESCO.

Sponsorship opportunities and individual membership to the UNESCO Center for Global Friendship, Inc. are available at a low cost. Members will receive exclusive web content, invitations to events across the U.S., at the United Nations in New York and throughout the world. They will also be linked to a network of like-minded individuals and organizations that collectively promote the work of UNESCO and other UN agencies at the grassroots level. Additionally, members will be offered leadership skill development and humanitarian work opportunities year-round through volunteer programs in U.S. and abroad.
