MUN

Last Monday, UNICEF's chief of Field Operations, Ms Derdre Kiernan came to talk about the role of UNICEF in natural disasters. UNICEF is one of the major UN organizations that rely on funds from people, which is why we had all heard of them in MUN. Ms Kiernan gave a brief presentation of the actions that UNICEF takes in an emergency and how they focus on children, their education, health and sanitation by providing tents, clean water, vaccines etc.

I think it's amazing how people in UN organizations work so hard to help people who are less fortunate and I really admire them. I always hear of organizations thart succeed in raising money but use it in the wrong ways, like providing boats when what they really need is water, but Ms Kiernan said that UNICEF carries out research before they take action, which is a really constructive and effective thing to do. I think UNICEF and all the other organizations are so great for helping victims of disasters and I really really admire them a lot!
