  2. Hi Marta! LIke Fouad, I'm delighted you added your answers, putting us in touch once again. They encourage me to do the same. I especially appreciate that you cite as your best experience in UNICEF, Mozambique and Swaziland. How well I remember when I was the ESARO RD at the time, your successful advocacy for Children on the Frontline -- in South Africa and surrounding countries -- with wider regional implications! I'll write you separately later. Mary
