UNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This specialized agency of the UN has 193 Member States and 6 Associate Members.

The organization is based in Paris, with over 50 field offices and many specialized institutes and centres throughout the world.

Projects sponsored by UNESCO include literacy, technical, and teacher-training programmes, science programmes, promotion of independent media and freedom of the press, regional and cultural history projects, the promotion of cultural diversity.

With the World Heritage Site, the agency is also trying to secure the world cultural and natural heritage.

Next week they will visit Jerash and then enter Damascus in Syria.
