Editor's Note: It is a long while since we ran a contest in News & Views. We thank Richard for setting the challenge. Dig into your albums of offices where you worked or visited. They could be country, state, project or natcoms or card sales offices. Send your responses and photos to xunicef.news.views@gmail.com.

Here's a challenge from the travels of retirees around the globe, to present the best looking UNICEF office (including national committees).We live in such depressing times that some such distraction might actually be productive.
As an example, and to kick things off, here's a photograph of the Irish National Committee's office in Dublin, that we came upon by chance this morning.
All the very best!
Richard
Here is one more from our archives:

Update 1:
To add more as we progress with the contest, we have received two historical recollections of the UNICEF Hanoi Office from Fouad Kronfol and a stunning series of Mark Henderson's collection on Haiti, which we feature here with the hope that more will flow in:

ReplyDeleteDear Xunicef editors:
Taking up Richard Bridle’s challenge, here are a set of photos following the UNICEF Haiti premises from 2010 to 2012. I was chief of WASH there from March 2010 to December 2012.
The UNICEF office in the quartier of Debussy was damaged in the earthquake and demolished. For two years, operations were run out the tent and container village set up at the airport MINUSTAH log base until a move to Petionville. The Debussy office has since been rebuilt to earthquake proof standards.
Feel free to edit the number of photos.
Best regards.
Mark
Thanks for the first entry in "the Coolest UNICEF Office". We will post the photos from all entries next week.
