Welcome to Our World Tuesday! This meme continues in memory of the work of Klaus Peter, whose "that's My World" brought people together from around the world every Monday to share the wonders therein--big and small.Please click on our logo for "Our World Tuesday" in the sidebar. Thank you Team of O. W. T.!
This post is dedicated to Unicef. Every year I buy my Christmas presents by supporting Unicef. Among them are beautiful diaries, Christmas cards, candles and many other things. .
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United Nations Children's Fund was created by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946, to provide emergency food and healthcare to children in countries that had been devastated by World War II. In 1953, UNICEF became a permanent part of the United Nations System and its name was shortened from the original United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund but it has continued to be known by the popular acronym based on this old name. Headquartered in New York City, UNICEF provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries.
UNICEF relies on contributions from governments and private donors and UNICEF's total income for 2006 was $2,781,000,000. Governments contribute two thirds of the organization's resources; private groups and some 6 million individuals contribute the rest through the National Committees. UNICEF's programs emphasize developing community-level services to promote the health and well-being of children. UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 and the Prince of Asturias Award of Concord in 2006.

Wonderful post and images. Unicef is a great organization, I am sure it feels to donate to them. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
My grandchildren are each choosing something to donate to World Vision this year. My daughter feels it's time for them to "give" rather than to "receive." Not that they won't get anything, but they need to think of others instead of themselves now.

Wat een mooi onderwerp heb je gekozen en wat goed dat je het onder de aandacht brangt. Even niet denken over de strijkstokverhalen maar wel realiseren dat iedere cent meer dan nodig is.
Groet, ♫ M e l ☺ d y ♫

Love your last line...so true! Great choice for U for this time of year!
A great word of the letter U!
I really like supporting things like this.
It certainly makes our world a better place.
Fabulous U word and great post.
What a good choice for the letter U, Wil. I was amazed at the yearly donation figure, and heartened by all the projects that are undertaken by UNICEF. One of the better things the United Nations does...
Great choice for U.
Thanks to them for the wonderful projects they take up and execute.
always, it is a cool way to demonstrate U word here.
A great post to remind us about helping others this holiday season. - Margy
UNICEF does a lot of good work:) Love the photo of the girl writing on the blackboard with so much focus!
