About Me:I got involved in philanthropy after I had realized that if I wanted a better world, then I had to do more than hope for it - I had to get involved.
I currently support and volunteer with organizations that help At-Risk teens and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF).
"I believe if we want change we need to use our power to make a difference."
Greetings fellow donors and UNICEF supporters, I would like to bring to your attention, UNICEF's annual Humanitarian Action Report - addressing 39 specific crises around the world. The report outlines the organization’s funding requirements for emergency work in 2008.
The report details financial needs beyond regular country program budgets. The appeal for more than $850 million worldwide targets the largest allocations for Pakistan, Uganda, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
"From Somalia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Iraq, Zimbabwe and Sudan, children and women continue to bear the brunt of conflict, displacement and deteriorating conditions," UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman writes in a foreword to the report.
Please visit UNICEF to learn how you can help. Thanks!
