Sarah Jessica Parker: A small price with a big return

LIBERIA: An infant is weighed in a sling scale, as part of a UNICEF-assisted growth monitoring program, at Redemption Hospital in Monrovia, the capital.

For the final 12 days of 2008, UNICEF celebrity Ambassadors and supporters are posting daily blog entries about the impact UNICEF Inspired Gifts are having on children around the world.

The holiday presents I love the most are the ones that mean something special. And I don't mean just the gifts I receive, but also the ones I give.

UNICEF Inspired Gifts are the perfect example of meaningful holiday presents your loved ones will always remember. That's because the gift you are really giving is the chance for a struggling child to survive.

Give a UNICEF Inspired Gift of insecticide-treated mosquito nets, high-energy/protein biscuits, or UNICEF School-in-a-Box kits.

The gifts will go directly to children where these vital supplies are needed, and your friend or family member will receive a beautiful acknowledgment that the gift was made in their name.

It's a small price to pay, with a big return... to share with those you love the joy and satisfaction of having saved children's lives.

If you've ever considered supporting UNICEF's work, this is an inspiring way to help those who need it most.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Thank you and happy holidays!

I am Sarah Jessica Parker, and I believe in zero.

25,000 young children die every day from preventable causes—things like malnutrition, poor sanitation and lack of safe, drinkable water. UNICEF believes that number should be zero.
