UNICEF Meditation .…………………………. .. .. 40

On 17 March, UNICEF members of the Meditation Group at the UN gave Teri (Chayanika)  Sanna – Schiffel a birthday party at the Alcoa Building. About sixty UNICEF staff members attended the programme, which included a short meditation led by Sri Chinmoy and a seven-course meal cooked by Teri.

The Group’s singers sang songs about the United Nations and Sri Chinmoy joined a few performers for a song about UNICEF, which he had just composed. The song appears below.
