We’ve been discussing the issues all week, and we’d like to use these same questions to guide a discussion with your friends, family or community groups about the issues.
We’ve posted these discussion questions and even developed a sample menu if you would like to host the discussion over a meal. All these resources are available in the Advocacy Center inside the Online Volunteer Center. Log in to check out the resources!
Share the issue briefs with those who might be interested to discuss the issues and actions you can take during Unite for Child Survival: Advocacy Week and beyond.
While we provided some discussion questions, do you have any of your own? What do you think is the most important issue this week and why?

UNICEF has been around for a very long time, why is this organization still using bandaids? Why don't you solve the REAL problem, human over population. STOP children from being born in the first place. Most people that have numerous babies cannot even feed them, let alone anything else. How about some BIRTH CONTROL for a change? How about helping OUR planet for a change? Do you even consider what miracles population control would produce? If not you need to start NOW.

What am absolutely absurd thing to say !!!! Unicef is not forcing you to contribute to their various programs.
First of all you cannot impose your beliefs on any cultures of the world,most believe children are their wealth. Maybe if more people in the so called Super Powers felt this way we would have less incidents of child abuse and domestic violence.
Most of the problems around the world has been caused by HUMAN GREED. They say charity begins at home so start teaching the leaders of tomorrow to stop being so selfish "THE GIMME GENERATION".
God save us if everyone thinks like you do!
