Social And Voluntary Organisations And Initiatives – 4

Let’s look at UNICEF – an organization who’s mandate is to address the long-term needs of children and women in developing countries everywhere…

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is a United Nations (UN) programme headquartered in New York City that provides humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries. It is a member of the United Nations Development Group.

The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund was created by the United Nations General Assembly on 11 December 1946, to provide emergency food and healthcare to children in countries that had been devastated by World War II.

In 1953 it became a permanent part of the United Nations System, and the words “international” and “emergency” were dropped from the organization’s name, making it simply the United Nations Children’s Fund, retaining the original acronym, “UNICEF”. Roll over the images to know more…

UNICEF Ambassadors are leaders in the entertainment industry, representing the fields of film, television, music, sports and beyond. They help raise awareness of the needs of children, and use their talent and fame to fund-raise, advocate, and educate on behalf of UNICEF.

Goodwill Ambassador Priyanka Chopra visited Jordan in September 2017 where she met with Syrian children, young people and their families whose lives had been greatly affected by the conflict.

One of the most common grammatical errors involves the use of there, their and they’re.

It’s actually quite easy to master the rules. When you mean to say they are, use they’re. For example: They’re very interested in the movie.

When you mean to say ‘in that place’ or introduce something, use there. For example: There is a need for water. When are you going there?

Their is a possessive pronoun. It is used to mean that something belongs to ‘them’.
