António Guterres

Imagine a person who is like the principal of a giant school that includes almost every country on Earth! That's kind of like António Guterres. He is the Secretary-General of the United Nations, which is a big group that tries to help countries get along and solve problems together.

He started this important job in 2017 and is the first person from Europe to do it in a very long time. He wants to make the world a more peaceful and fair place for everyone.

António Guterres was born a long, long time ago in Portugal, a country far away. When he was younger, he studied science, like how things work! But he also loved helping people and got involved in politics, which is about making decisions for a country.

He became the leader of his country, Portugal, called the Prime Minister. He was really good at it, and people even voted him the best Prime Minister they had in many years!

Before becoming the world's helper, António Guterres had another super important job. He was in charge of helping people who had to leave their homes because of wars or danger. This is called being the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

He worked very hard to make sure these people were safe and had what they needed. He helped fix things so that more people could get the help they deserved. It's like being a superhero for families in trouble!

As the head of the United Nations, António Guterres talks to leaders from all over the world. He tries to stop fights from starting and helps people who are suffering. He also cares a lot about our planet and wants to protect it from climate change.

He speaks many languages, which helps him talk to people from everywhere. He is a busy person, always working to make the world a better home for all of us.
