  "account": "On October 24, the United Nations celebrated its 81st anniversary, prompting the UNIS Hanoi international school to host a week of student action on the Sustainable Development Goals. In his message, UN secretary-general António Guterres called for dialogue over division and cooperation over confrontation. UNIS Hanoi, one of only two United Nations international schools globally, embraced the theme of unity, declaring \"One community, 65 nationalities\" for UN Day. The school, founded in 1988, has grown to include students from Pakistan and Belize for the first time this year. The UN Day Assembly included a Parade of Nations, student speeches, and a community potluck lunch featuring dishes from around the world. UN Day concluded a week of student-driven initiatives, including Earth Hour, which saw around 365 students switch off lights, screens, and air conditioning, saving an estimated 27 kg of CO₂ emissions. The week's highlight was the SDG Games, where students competed in challenges linked to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. UNIS Hanoi's head of school, Dr. Elizabeth Gale, emphasized the importance of students from diverse backgrounds learning and collaborating with one another. As Vietnam aims to join the top 50 countries in the UN's SDG Index by 2026, UNIS Hanoi hopes to demonstrate that schools can help turn global targets into everyday practices. The UNIS Model United Nations conference on November 28-29 will provide another opportunity for students to practice dialogue and cooperation on global issues.",
