Happenings ~
The purposeof UNICEF is to
help countries meet the urgent
needs of their children. . . to
stop the suffering and waste of
human resources. This helps
| countries achieve their aspira-
tions. The United Nations created
a number of economic and so-
cial agencies. Among these agen-
cies is the United Nations Chil-
I dren's Fund (originally called
: United Nations International
j Children's Emergency Fund).
; The initials "UNICEF" are still
| used. UNICEF helps govern-
! merit,s plan programs of perma-
: nent benefit to children, provid-
j ing supplies and equipment
j needed from outside the coun-
i try. Main types of programs in-
clude nutrition projects, health
services, disease control, family
and child welfare, and certain
disaster aid. UNICEF is cur-
rently helping over 100 countries
in more than 400 projects.
More than 57 million children
and their mothers have been di-
rectly benefitted by UNICF.F.
Thus some of the world's chil-
dren have been spared the
blindness of trachoma, the de-
bilitation of malaria and tuber-
culosis, the living death of
| leprosy, the disfigurement of
yaws, and they have been pro-
tected against sickness and re-
stored to vigor with a balanced
diet, and have been granted
hope for the future.
The Methodist Youth Fellow-
ship wants to have a part in
giving these children a brighter
future, so when we knock on
your doors Tuesday, Oct. 30.
