Fieldnotes: Blogging on UNICEF's child survival work in the field

Safe journey, Clay. Your true gift to this world is the love you have for the children.

I am proud to be your fan.

I am so proud of you Clay. UNICEF does the work that needs to be done in the world on behalf of those of us who can't go ourselves. We can partake in the good works of UNICEF by supporting their missions of mercy. Thank you for raising our awareness of the needs in so many places. I think by going at Christmas time, you show us the real meaning of the season in deeds and not just words. Peace On Earth, Good Will Towards Men.

Merry Christmas Clay!

I'm sure that your Christmas in Mexico will encompass what Christmas is really all about...sharing love, joy, and peace with those around you. Have a blessed and safe holiday Clay...you'll be in my thoughts and prayers as will all of those who have suffered through the devastation of the flooding.

Safe journey, Clay. Your true gift to this world is the love you have for the children.

I am proud to be your fan.

What a wonderful thing to do..giving up your Christmas at home to help out the less fortunate. That is why I am so proud to be a fan of yours.

Have a safe trip there. The very Merriest of Christmas to you and yours.

Clay,

I love you so much for all of the work you do with UNICEF. I wish I had 1,000 dollars....but, I am trying to get the $50 together. If even those who don't have much put in $5 or $10 dollars...I think we can pull this off. Safe travels and Godspeed. I hope you have a blessed and rewarding experience in Mexico. WWJD - I think he would be doing exactly what your are doing.

Merry Christmas with love,

xoxo

I am honored to support you and UNICEF in the efforts to stabilize and rebuild the areas in Mexico devasted by the flooding.

May God continue to bless you and yours this holiday season and beyond!

Much success to you, Clay. May your journey be safe and rewarding. You are proving once again, that you are quite the Measure of a Man. God Bless you. My support is on the way.

Unicef is truly blessed to have you and your fans supporting them. I believe making a difference in the world is why you were gifted the voice of an angel. You are truly Character and Integrity Personified.

May you have a safe and successful trip into Tabasco for UNICEF this Christmas. I hope the donations for the children of Mexico will surpass your goal of $100,000.

One of the things that I love most about you is your generous heart. That and your warm smile will bring a lot of comfort to the children who have lost so much...bless you for always giving your all to those in need.

Godspeed to you and your family as you demonstrate to each of us what Christmas truly is about.
Love,
Trudy B

Thank you for being such a great example for the world to see. You are a wonderful human being and a a credit to America. With so many celebrites showing a bad reflection of our values in this country, you are a bright and welcome light.
A part of the lyrics from a song I wrote say:
"If we walk with Him, and let His Love shine through, into this world we would bring Christmas, all year through".

God bless you and your family, and be safe.
Love,
Linda

UNICEF Ambassador, Clay - May your Christmas Holiday spent with the families in Mexico be blessed. Thank you, again, for helping the children… what you have done, so far, as a philanthropist, is amazing. You, again, have my support, both moral and financial.

Take care & God Bless.

UNICEF is very blessed to have you as an ambassador. I hope you and your family experience the "true" meaning of Christmas while in Mexico.

Thank you for all you do and Merry Christmas!

I hope many people support UNICEF in helping those devestated in Mexico. I have family in Mexico and it's reassuring that people like you, Clay, are helping out. Be safe.

Merry Christmas

Clay,

What a wonderful Christmas present for all the children in Mexico! As well as for you!! I know how much you love to reach out and help children all over the world, and being able to spend Christmas not only helping, but also being there with your mom and brother must be wonderful....Santa may have toys in his bag, but you have what really counts, and that is lots of love in your heart. And that is the best Christmas present of all. God bless you and your family as you bring hope and joy to those wonderful children and their families!!
