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

© U.S. Fund for UNICEF/Telford

While there are many issues before Congress that our Office of Public Policy and Advocacy monitors, this week we're focusing on three in particular: the U.S. Government allocation to UNICEF, the Global Security Priorities Act and the International Violence Against Women Act. Today we're asking you to log into the Online Volunteer Center and then click on the Advocacy Center and read our issue overviews.

All week we will be discussing the issues on which we're asking you to take action. Today, the topic is the U.S. government's contribution to UNICEF, which helps extend their efforts in saving children from preventable disease, providing basic education, fighting HIV/AIDS and protecting children from violence, exploitation and abuse. Some 9.7 million children still die each year from preventable diseases. Help support UNICEF's work by learning more and taking action on the Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill.

Tell us what you think! How can we build support for UNICEF's work within the corporate, government and non-profit sectors in the U.S.?
