http://youtu.be/lUer_ZA4sJs
UNICEF, acronym of United Nations Children’s Fund, formerly (1946–53) United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, special program of the United Nations (UN), devoted to aiding national efforts to improve the health, nutrition, education, and general welfare of children.In keeping with this strategy, UNICEF supports immunization programs for childhood diseases and programs to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS; it also provides funding for health services, educational facilities, and other welfare services. Since 1996 UNICEF programs have been guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), which affirms the right of all children to “the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health.” UNICEF’s activities are financed by both government and private contributions(www.britanca.com/)
Poverty is so common in today's society. When I was watching the various videos and podcast, my mind began to wonder. What we take for granted needs to be humbled. We have three meals and snacks a day. Some children do not get that. I work in food industry. I see so much food waste. Also at home with the leftovers;there is waste. We can be feeding a hungry child.Sometimes it makes me angry to see the waste but there is nothing I can do about it. We as humble citizens need to remind ourselves, there is someone in a worst situation than you.
Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the video, it really does make you stop and think about the amount of food that is wasted on a daily basis. I have always tried to teach my own children and those I work with not to waste food by teaching them to serve themselves a little portion as they can always go back for seconds.

Sandra,
ReplyDeleteGreat post and what a touching video! You're so right, so much food goes to waste in this country! I have five children at home and the food that goes to waste in my home alone could probably feed a family. :( That's a terrible thought, makes me want to make a change. Thank you for your post!
