    On this Father’s Day, let’s discuss the qualifying condition for celebrating Father’s Day, being a dad. More specifically, let’s discuss how we can do a better job at balancing caregiving in Canada.

  • 2017: A look back at UNICEF’s biggest achievements in South Sudan and Bangladesh

    Posted by David Morley ·

    In our line of work, it can often seem like no matter what we do, the world just keeps on spinning out of control.

    Children suffer. Children starve. Children are out of school.

    At UNICEF, we try our best to protect them. To feed them. To get them back in school.

    We make a lot of noise, and sometimes the world hears us, sometimes it doesn’t. But we carry on anyway. We have no other choice because the cries and pleas of children are too deafening to our ears.

Those who have managed to escape are now attempting to piece together some semblance of a normal life.
