Today is World Humanitarian Day! This year's theme is "I Was Here." This day is set as a time to recognize those who face danger and adversity in order to help others. WHD was designated by the General Assembly to coincide with the anniversary of the 2003 bombing of the United Nation headquarters in Baghdad (Iraq), which killed 22 UN staff.
This day is in recognition of those who serve others selflessly, and to celebrate their endeavors and the impact they make on others. Going along with the advocacy of Service in my personal platform, SHERO, as Miss Sierra Leone USA, I also believe this is a day to promote service. All acts of kindness can go a great way and positively influence one's life. I know that this world cannot be changed in a day or year, but the change can start with one person. The purpose of this blog post is to encourage you to contribute to your community in whatever big or small way you can. Change doesn't only start with a group but also an individual.

This World Humanitarian Day and days to come, I encourage you to do something good, somewhere, for someone else. Make it a habit. Make the pledge to yourself. Empower others while showing your acts of kindness. I take on this challenge, do you?

Your Miss Sierra Leone USA
