Our XUNICEF Photographer of the Week 

Ramesh Shrestha takes us on his travels in Argentina

Results of the Cluster Survey 

The Zoom 2 Meeting called for forming smaller cluster groups to discuss social development issues on which XUNICEF members could work.  The survey results are in and we have started to form the clusters.  

Updated Calendar

Doreen Lobo has been hard at work this week updating the XUNICEF Calendar.  Please take a look and help us keep it updated with any scheduled events (Zoom meetings, important dates, etc.).  You can always find the calendar by opening the small menu in the top right corner of our webpage.

Let us know please if we missed any important dates - and please, add your own.

September Quarterly

The contributions - short stories, memoirs, photos - are coming in - and more are promised.  Are your memories of childhood among them?  If not, there is still time.  We need short (+/- 300 words) stories - light, funny, poignant - of your childhood memories.  And don't forget to send us photos to accompany your memories.  If you don't have ones of 'back then', send instead a photo of how the house, street, or neighborhood where you grew up looks today.

Help make this a great edition.

Please no PDFs - Word or Doc formats only.  Send photos separately, not integrated to your text. 

Deadline is September 6th.

A New Webpage for Announcements of Deaths and Condolences

We have opened an obituary page for announcements of deaths and messages of condolence.  We are also testing a revised way of making announcements and collating the responses.

Beirut

Report from Beirut -  Soha Boustani has sent us an update on the latest tragedy to hit the UNICEF family in Beirut - the death of 15 year old Elias Khoury, son of Mireille - after two weeks in intensive care.  This follows the death of Asmahan, wife of De Gaulle (Bou Rjali).
