Trick – or -Treat for UNICEF

Dear Parents,

Let’s make this year’s Halloween Count!  Little People will participate in “Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF”.  Your child will learn that he or she can make a difference in the world by volunteering to help.  Your child will receive a UNICEF box from Little People SOON!

 

Here’s how you can help make Halloween count in 2009:

 

  1. Talk to your child about things that he or she probably takes for granted:
  • Easy access to food and clean water.
  • The ability to go to school and get an education.
  • Availability of medical help when it is needed.

   2.  Tell your child about the lives of kids who live in other parts of the  world:

  • In many parts of the world, kids drink unsafe water from a river or stream that often makes them very sick.
  • Many kids have never seen a doctor or had the immunizations they need to protect against deadly diseases.
  • Some kids don’t learn to read or write, because they do not have access to school or must work to support their families.

 

3. Learn how UNICEF helps kids around the world:

  • UNICEF  builds wells so kids can have access to clean water.
  • UNICEF provides 40% of the children in developing countries with their immunizations.
  • UNICEF helps build schools, train teachers and provide school supplies to kids around the world.
