WEB SHARING
 The organization was UNICEF 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 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 previous title
I also discovered that this organization is also known as The United Nations Children's Fund which is an United Nations Program headquartered in New York City that provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries. This organization is a member of the United Nations Development Group and part of its CEO Kaufman, M Conflict resolution- finding better ways to help these families and children. They also require the students to bring their parents to school to talk about poor behavior. Organization help assist parents to create child-friendly homes, learn that school culture can both promote or it can evolve with parent interaction..

 UNICEF organization's resources; private groups and some 6 million individuals contribute the rest through the National Committees. It is estimated that 91.8% of their revenue is distributed to Program Services UNICEF's programs emphasize developing community-level services to promote the health and well-being of children. The organization does have to meet the need of these children and their families’ emergency shelters, educational supplies, among others and approves programs and oversees administrative and financial plans. This is the link if you would like to learn a little more about this organization.   Website:http://www.unicef. org.

Identify one current issue/trend from the newsletter and/or from the website that caught your attention. What caught my eye is how this organization helps these children, and has provided emergency extra food and supplies and training for medical and health staff.  This organization has dealt with 140 million children in developing countries who did not attend primary school, about 60 percent were girls. Some 250 million children aged 5 to 14 work, half of them full time This is a huge concern and very difficult for me to imagine that children deal with such unfair circumstances around the world. I would like to share some more vital information that was shocking to me and a couple of issues The organization also focuses on helping to return former child soldiers (to their homes and reintegrate them into society through counseling and education. I have learned so much and was shocked with the information I have gained from reading this website. I am thankful that I have never experienced anything like this nor have I experienced this in US. This organization has try to help families and children in anyway that they can by supporting diversity and Conflict resolution- finding better ways to help these families and children
Share if there was anything else you learned from studying these resources related to the topic of this week.  I also learned that the UNICEF is also diversity focused which is one of the topics we discussed in our lesson for this week.  In developing countries, almost a third of children under age five are malnourished.  I myself thought that this was very informative an dynamic Approximately 250,000 children under age 18 served in armed conflicts in 1995 and 1996. 300,000 children have been killed or maimed by landmines since 1975.If you would like to learn more about this web site feel free to visit the link that I have provided for you. Overall this was interesting for me and very informative.

  1. Temika,
    I found your blog to be very interesting. I had heard about UNICEF but never took the initiative to do in research on it. I decided to look at the website and realized this organization was started to help all children around the world. I agree with the website that no child should be denied an education. It took me to work on and complete my MBA to realize what my purpose is in life. I'm determined to own and operate a childcare center so that I can be here to support all children by teaching them and making them understand they can become successful.

    2. I want to open mine later this year or early 2015 but I may have to push it back because I'm trying to complete my 20 years of State Service time working for the State of North Carolina. I believe it would be very hard to open a child care center when I can't dedicate my time completely to the business. I will make the decision on what to do by the time I complete my degree this December.
