Ana's Story

There are many ways you can stay up to date on UNICEF's work on behalf of children. Our recommendation for the last day of Unite for Child Survival: Advocacy Week is for volunteers and supporters to check out our suggested reading list.

And, be sure to let us know if you hear from your Congressional Representative after taking action on the legislative issues we've highlighted this week. Post a comment here or email us at volunteer@unicefusa.org.

* Ana's Story by Jenna Bush is just one of many books on our suggested reading list for volunteers. Buy it online here.

"Ana's Story" really sounds very interesting. I have read Khaled Hosseini's "A Thousand Splendid Suns". It is a very touching book. I would also recommend "The Kite Runner" to those who have not read it yet.

Though not specifically about children, "Princess" by Jean P. Sasson is a also a very emotional read. All these books made me cry when I read them.

Books and movies like these, I think, gives us a better perspective on life. It makes us realize how fortunate & lucky we are to have what we have. It motivates us to help others be a little more happier with life compared to what they are currently.
