?.????? ??????,????????,??????? A Shortly before
the end of World War ?, leaders of many nations,
including the United States, decided to form an
international organization.It was hoped that
nations could discuss their disagreements in this
organization instead of fighting over them. On
April 25, 1945, two hundred representatives from
many nations came to San Francisco, California,
to make the rules that would govern this
organization.After many months of hard work,
arguments, and compromises, the United Nations
organization was established. Today thousands of
people visit the United Nations headquarters in
New York City.They see the large rooms where
representatives from about a hundred nations meet
to discuss their problems.They find out about the
work of the United Nations. Children who visit
the United Nations are especially interested in
learning about the help given to children.Teams
of workers from the United Nations visit
countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia to
help children who are sick and hungry.They bring
food and medicine.They also teach people what
doctors have learned about keeping children
strong. People who work for the United Nations
believe that happy healthy people are more likely
to be friendly to other nations.They believe that
helping people will help the world at peace.
