From Your Editors - UNICEF@75
Who taught you, who helped you, who inspired you, who led you when you came to UNICEF?
In short, we want this edition to tell the story of the people - the weird wonderful people - who pulled UNICEF together in those early years. They need not be the 'big guns'. UNICEF worked thanks to its people small and big, humble and great, unknown and famous. Tell us about them please.
