Reinhard in Jerusalem, August 2009 © Ellen Tolmie I met Reinhard Freiberg soon after joining Unicef in August 1990; he was coordinating several aspects of the World Summit for Children. He remains one of my favourite Unicef people, partly because of his delight in injecting humour wherever possible, leavening many a meeting with quips that quickly deflated anyone verging on pomposity. Here are two vignettes that speak to his kindness and principles.
