On Friday, March 1, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF held the second annual UNICEF Experience at The Goss-Michael Foundation in Dallas, Texas. A truly unique evening, the UNICEF Experience showcased UNICEF’s lifesaving work through interactive exhibits on Survival, Development, Protection, and Emergencies, allowing guests to experience what vulnerable children in developing countries have to face just to survive. With 300-plus guests, the event raised even more than last year’s Experience!

Mr. Beah's life was forever changed in 1991 at the outbreak of civil war in Sierra Leone. His parents and two brothers were killed, and he was forcibly recruited into the war at age 13. After two years, with UNICEF's help, he was removed from the army and placed in a rehabilitation home in Freetown.

Matt Feger is the UNICEF Tap Project City Coordinator in Washington, DC. He and the DC Tap Project Team report on their launch event which took place on March 20, 2010.

On Saturday night, the D.C. Tap Project Team hosted our Launch Event to kick off World Water Week. We must have had some good karma because the weather finally cooperated and helped us draw a great crowd. Friends, co-workers, volunteers, and some family members all came out in support of children around the world.

Advocacy results are in

You've read our advocacy requests and updates here before. But does anyone notice if you actually advocate for UNICEF? Yes!

Congress reviews many issues and makes important decisions that will affect how many children UNICEF will be able to help in the coming year. A few weeks ago, we asked our volunteers to contact their elected officials on behalf of UNICEF and the world's children because the U.S. House and Senate were reviewing the bills that support UNICEF funding for fiscal year 2009.

We asked our volunteers to write their Congressional Representative to endorse the U.S. Fund for UNICEF's request of $135 million in funding for UNICEF in FY09. In just weeks, 881 letters were sent in support of a $135 million U.S. Government contribution to UNICEF in 2009.

That's a lot of letters. Thank you!

But our work is not done yet. In the coming months, Congress still needs to complete their appropriations process, and we may need to send another round of letters depending how it's going. Plus, we'll be asking volunteers and supporters like you to contact Congress on other issues important to saving the world's children.

I hope you'll remember results like these the next time you wonder if making a few cllicks really makes a difference.
