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

For any person who is frustrated with the situation and wants to go to Kenya and help, is there anything else a college student can do other than donating money? Can somebody volunteer through UNICEF or any other organization on the ground in Kenya?

Thank you, Edith, for you concern and your wish to do more. UNICEF and the U.S Fund for UNICEF do not deploy volunteers to the field, but we do work with the United Nations Volunteer Program. You can get more information about volunteering with the U.N. here: http://www.unicef.org/about/employ/index_volunteers.html However, as with many volunteer progams, you do need several years of work experience.
Besides making a donation, there are lots of other ways to help UNICEF here at home. You could start a UNICEF campus initiative at your college to help raise awareness for UNICEF. Or you could volunteer for the Tap Project--a campaign we're kicking off right now to bring clean water to children around the world. You can find out about all the different ways to volunteer for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF here: http://www.unicefusa.org/site/c.duLRI8O0H/b.25937/k.C882/Volunteer__US_Fund_for_UNICEF.htm
Maybe you'll see an opportunity there for you to help out.
