I was Here: Join Beyoncé and Spread a Message of Hope Around the World
This Sunday is a very special day for us here at the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. It’s World Humanitarian Day--a day that honors humanitarian workers around the world, created in memory of the 22 UN staff members who died in the 2003 bombing of UN headquarters in Iraq. But WHD is also a day to honor all people who help others. And that’s where everyone can get involved. In the spirit of this special day, the UN and Beyoncé (yes, that Beyoncé), along with other global organizations, are asking everyone to do two things: Do something good for someone somewhere, and inspire the world to do the same.

In the spirit of this special day, the UN and Beyoncé (yes, that Beyoncé), along with other global organizations, are asking everyone to do two things: Do something good for someone, and inspire the world to do the same. You can start right now by uploading a tweet or a Facebook message asking others to do one good thing for someone. On World Humanitarian Day, all messages will go out at the same time, reaching hundreds of millions of people and inspiring them to do something good. Talk about paying it forward! There’s lots you can do to help someone, from carrying their groceries, to visiting an old age home, to giving a hungry person a sandwich. If you would like to help children in need, you can join UNICEF and find out how to help. But no matter what you do this Sunday, by doing something good for someone, you—and millions of others—are helping to make the world a better place.
