NEW YORK — Beyonce is teaming with the United Nations and humanitarian aid organizations on a global campaign to encourage people around the world to get involved for World Humanitarian Day.
The pop star and

filmed in the UN General Assembly Hall in New York in front of an
audience. The video will premiere Aug. 19, and the UN hopes it will help
the campaign reach 1 billion people.
A news release says the campaign website launched Thursday and allows people to share individual acts of good.

together and “this is our time to leave our mark on the world.”
