Dear Sir or Madam,

However,we believe that our website is an excellent source of information onUNICEF-related issues.  We would kindly encourage you to revisit ourwebsite (www.unicef.org) and, in the Search box, perform a search using keywords related to your topic.  That will yield many results andget you off to a very good start.

However, visiting their website their is a lot of information and article about health, education, and child survivor.  All of the articles are interesting because they are always somewhere helping the chidren and single and young mothers.  They are teaching young mothers about how to care for the babies, teaching the children about health and also educating them about health foods and education.  They are always provide the essential things they need to survive in their countries.

  1. Hi Felicia,
    It is ashame that UNICEF was unable to respond to your request. It is odd to me that they were able to take the time to e-mail you back stating they were unable to help but could not take it any further. I am however glad that you were able to find and look thru their website. I agree that it is full of alot of useful information regarding children's health, education, and protection. Thanks for sharing your information!
