GETTING TO KNOW MY INTERNATIONAL CONTACTS

Unfortunately, I have not heard from the UNICEF                                                                                  http://www.unicef.org/childsurvival/index.html UNICEF is working to mainstream a multidimensional approach of poverty, to reflect how and where children are experiencing poverty, and to allow a different set of policy responses that would structurally address children being lifted out of poverty in the long-term by addressing their different deprivations. UNICEF recognized the importance of economic policy for children and has sought the help of development economists in mapping out what this might involve. UNICEF was about to be transformed from a UN emergency agency for children to one dealing with children’s long-term needs, questioning how the needs of children and youth can be integrated into the general objectives of development. UNICEF developed the concept of First Call for Children, which means essentially that in bad times as in good, countries should ensure that children’s priority needs should have a first call on resources – a principle accepted by most families for their own children but still only rarely recognized in national economic policy. Dedicated UNICEF officials have been working hard on this commitment to economic policy work in the context of children’s rights.

The Global Fund for Children http://www.globalfundforchildren.org/what-we-do/ The Global Fund recently had a Spring Gala raising over $1.3 million and counting in connection with the event, all funds will go toward supporting innovative grassroots organizations transforming the lives of children worldwide. The gala may be over, but its impact will echo for years to come, touching the lives of children around the globe. The Gala contributions will support grantees that joined the network. Thirty-one grassroots organizations provided critical services to the most vulnerable children in their communities. These dedicated groups are bringing mobile classrooms to working children in Ecuador; providing shelter and care for abandoned infants in Kenya; helping children from Nigeria, Serbia, India, Colombia, Indonesia, and beyond to be safe from trafficking and harmful labor, engaged in learning and microenterprises, and armed with knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The funds we raised are also helping Jackson Kaguri, founder of The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project, to realize his dream of creating a secondary school for AIDS orphans in his home village in Uganda.

Both organizations keeps the importance and support for our young children. If you are not a member of the organizations you may want to join or give donations as soon as possible. These organization helps those families in need and support the education of our young children to the fullest.
