In class, we were asked to go to our groups and pick an International Organization to present in front of class. We eventually picked Unicef as the International Org to present. From what we researched, UNICEF is the organization that specializes on the rights of children everywhere in the world. They believe in making the world where every kid’s rights is recognized and is listened to. Unicef started out in the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946. It’s sole purpose was to provide food and healthcare to kids in places that had been devastated by World War 2.
“We believe that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress. UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. We believe that we can, together, advance the cause of humanity.” (Taken from http://www.unicef.org/about/who/ index_introduction.html)
Unicef believes that they a supporter and a promoter every children’s start in life to be the best. They also believe that the strongest fundamentals are always made at the earliest age of a children’s life. Unicef in the Philippines focuses on street children and. Street children are very eminent in the Philippines, kids are also being trafficked in some places which we researched on last term as our final paper in our majors class. Philippine Unicef Ambassadors such as Gary Valenciano thinks tha child’sprecious and it must be taken care of. Unicef Philippines is based in Manila and Cotabato.
