UNICEF

 Remember to bring your UNICEF box with you to collect money for children around the world.
Our goal is to raise 300.00.

Here are some examples of how a little money can go a long way:

• Just $1 protects a child from polio for life. Once at epidemic proportions in the United States claiming some 50,000 victims annually in the 1950s, today polio still strikes children in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
• Additionally, $1 immunizes one child against the deadly disease measles. Measles claims more children's lives each year than wars, famines, and natural disasters combined.
• $2 can provide 66 children with vitamin A capsules for a year. Vitamin A protects children from permanent blindness, helps them grow strong and protects against certain types of infections.
• Just $2.46 can buy school supplies, such as pencils, books, chalk, slate board and paper for one child for one year.
• Just $9 buys a pack of 200 water purification tablets. Five million Iraqis already lack access to safe water. Drinking unsafe water can lead to diarrhea diseases, which kills 1.5 million children each year.
