I was pleased to read the recent letter by former DEDs to Catherine Russell urging her to reinvigorate documentataion of UNICEF's history. I want to point out the need to make that history easily accessible for children, as we did with "UNICEF for Beginners (A Writers & Readers beginners documentary comic book) in 1996.

I am always impressed with your commitment to cartoons and animation and to easy-to-read versions of important documents. Thanks for keeping true to your mission, Christian!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula
DeleteThanks for reminding us of the need to prepare such child-friendly versions of UNICEF history, Christian.
ReplyDeleteVery well put.
I recall this excellent "UNICEF for Beginners" animation book from the 1990s. We need more such books, including in the vernacular languages in various countries. The ex-DEDs' message to the ED calls for this too. With today's digital technology, UNICEF should be able to produce many versions of such history books catering to young and old, and recognizing that today's youth have increasingly short attention span!
