Olivia Zhu is one of the four delegates chosen to represent the United States at the Children’s Climate Forum (CCF) taking place in Copenhagen. The U.S. Delegates will be sharing their experiences at the CCF on Fieldnotes
The first morning we had a great time playing what I’m going to call “World-Ball.” We arrived in the main exhibition hall to find a circle of delegates from Italy, Malawi, Indonesia, and elsewhere tossing/kicking/volleying around a humongous inflatable globe.

October 31st will be a day to celebrate for so many reasons! Lots of careful planning will culminate in millions of people around the country standing up for child survival, and we at the U.S. Fund couldn’t be more excited. While we are just catching our breath, it seems a perfect time to express our heartfelt thanks to our corporate partners and supporters who’ve made this campaign possible. They’ve promoted Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF in innovative ways, and we’d like to give them a big shout out for doing well by doing good!
