UNICEF is hosting a live award telecast funded through the ‘World of Children’ organization which provides awards to changemakers improving the lives of children.
The World of Children asserts that each day, there are still about 21,000 children dying from malnourishment and diseases. These are impoverished children who do not have proper access to health care.
The World of Children Award recognizes individuals who are committed to improving the lives of children worldwide. Who are these individuals? They are humanitarians – people with compassion, motivation, and perseverance to take charge of making a difference in society.
On November 1st at 5:30pm – 6:30pm, EST on Fora.tv – LIVE from UNICEF, the World of Children Award will broadcast “Changemakers for Children in partnership with the US Fund for UNICEF,” a live stream featuring social changemakers who are working to benefit children, including some who work exclusively in children’s health.
Dr. Jane Aronson, founder of the Worldwide Orphan Foundation (WWO) will be attending live and will be answering questions about her work. Dr. Jane and WWO transform the lives of orphans by addressing the medical and developmental conditions of children living in orphanages abroad. We will also feature the work of Dr. Ashok Banskota, who provides free medical treatment to the children of Nepal.
Please take your time and watch the broadcast here: http://go-mch.org/pages/Change_Makers_for_Children_Event_at_UNICEF.html.

If you have any questions, our changemakers will be available to answer them via live chat.
