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

Kristi Burnham, Director of Volunteer and Community Partnerships at the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, has a new Volunteer Update.

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF has launched the Tap Project, a nationwide campaign that helps UNICEF provide safe water for children around the world, while celebrating the clean and accessible drinking water available in the United States.

With our volunteers’ help, communities in the U.S. will become more aware of the water crisis around the world and understand how they can help.

All of our registered Tap Project Volunteers are invited to a day of information, interaction and collaboration. A Tap Project Volunteer Training Day is coming to the following cities near you!

• Saturday, February 9th, Atlanta Regional Training at Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University
• Saturday, February 9th, Denver Regional Training at St. Mary's Academy
• Saturday, February 23rd, San Francisco Regional Training at University of California, San Francisco

The purpose of the regional training days is to equip volunteers with the skills needed to recruit restaurants and promote the Tap Project in their local communities.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to learn from Tap Project city coordinators, national UNICEF staff, issues experts, and invited guests.

To sign up as a volunteer and to attend a Regional Training Day, register at the Tap Project site.
