Michael has inspired me sooooooo much to volunteer and donate to charities.
How come the address here for make a wish is www.wish.org
I thought it was www.make-a-wish.org.uk
A few weeks after MJ died I had 2 bags come through the door asking to donate clothes, one was for Make a Wish Foundation www.make-a-wish.org.uk and another from Starlight www.starlight.org.uk both brighten the lives of serious and terminally ill children.
I was looking on unicef website www.unicef.org.uk
You can help unicef in various ways http://www.unicef.org.uk/howyoucanhelp/index.asp
'Promise Every Child the Right To A Childhood' http://www.unicef.org.uk/landingpages/g_promise/?appealid=4222F6C4-9753-4357-A163-5A4D54A6367F&thesource=howyoucanhelp
There are lots of events you can join and fundraise for... hikes, cycling, skydiving etc! http://www.unicef.org.uk/regions/markets/?market=4&nodeid=regmarket4§ion=4
I am thinking about doing a trek for the children of Morocco in the Sahara. http://www.unicef.org.uk/regions/products/?product=96
UNICEF UK raises funds for UNICEF’s worldwide emergency and development work. In 2008 UNICEF UK raised £42.9 million for UNICEF’s work with children worldwide.
UNICEF UK also advocates for lasting change for children. For example UNICEF UK’s Public Affairs Team works to change government policies and practices that are detrimental to children’s rights in the UK and internationally.
UNICEF’s global structure
UNICEF’s global activities, policy work and fundraising are coordinated by two international UNICEF offices: one in New York and another in Geneva.
UNICEF also has two specialised offices: the Supply Division, based in Copenhagen, who manage our series of supply centres – so essential in emergencies – and the Innocenti Research Centre in Florence, well-known for its authoritative publications on children.
UNICEF’s global reach
UNICEF is the leading children’s organisation, reaching children in more than 150 less-developed countries around the world. We work with local communities, organisations and governments to make a lasting difference to children’s lives.
Our global reach allows us to share knowledge across borders while our local presence – almost 85 per cent of UNICEF staff work in developing countries – means we can deliver assistance where it is needed most. With our worldwide presence, UNICEF is ready to respond rapidly wherever disaster strikes, delivering life-saving help for children.
Protecting children
UNICEF believes that every child should have clean water, food, health care, education, and a safe environment in which to grow up. UNICEF upholds the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and works to hold the international community responsible for their promises to children.
Our funding
UNICEF receives no funding from the United Nations budget. We are funded entirely by voluntary contributions. UNICEF UK raises funds for these programmes through donations, the sale of cards and gifts, partnerships with companies and special events.
UNICEF UK is a charity registered in England and Wales, No 1072612.
