Universal Children’s Week

unicef — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 00:31:53 +0000

The day recognizes children’s basic human rights and gives them additional rights to protecting them from harm—everything from a child's right to be free from exploitation, to the right to his or her own opinion, and the rights to education, health care and economic opportunity. The adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the creation of Universal Children's Day reflects the growing recognition that children are important and valued members of society, now and in the future. Universal Children's Day celebrates children just for being themselves. It reminds us that children need love and respect to grow to their full potential. It is a day to listen to children, to marvel at their uniqueness and all they have to offer. A key objective of Universal Children's Day is to increase awareness of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Since its adoption by the United Nations, the Convention has been signed or ratified by more countries than any other international treaty. Over the past decade, the Convention has proven to be a valuable tool for promoting the rights of children everywhere around the world.

Trick or Treat for UNICEF

unicef — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 02:25:53 +0000

Sixty years ago, America’s kids took to the streets on Halloween collecting change to help children left vulnerable by World War II. This year, the tradition continues with kids across America making a difference in the lives of children around the world.

The 2010 Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign is the perfect opportunity to teach others how to make a difference in the world through their voluntary service. Participants learn about the realities that countless children endure every day as they struggle to survive in the face of disease, disasters, and other hardships. By participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, youth have the opportunity to be a part of the solution!

By combining service tasks – such as fundraising and awareness activities – with structured learning opportunities, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF supports self-reflection, self-discovery, and the acquisition and comprehension of values, skills, and knowledge content.

We will supply you with the tools necessary to Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Contact us at unicefatvassar@vassar.edu for more information. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
