Madame la Présidente Welcomes UNESCO

Madame la Présidente accueille l'Unesco · L. B. EL KHOURY

The great United Nations organization for Education, Science, and Culture is holding its sessions in Lebanon.

The collaboration that already exists between UNESCO and the women of the whole world is destined to last. It is certain that the well-being and the progress of peoples depend on the degree to which man and woman are able to develop their personality fully, becoming conscious of their responsibilities toward themselves and toward one another.

In the vast domains of Education, Science, and Culture which UNESCO proposes to develop, woman has a great role to play, particularly in what concerns the building of a free, healthy, and prosperous community.

Fully conscious of the importance of their collaboration, the women of Lebanon welcome UNESCO with much sympathy and hope.
