Dear Reader,
The starvation crisis in East Africa is worsening. Right now, over 320,000 malnourished children in East Africa are at risk of immediate death if they don’t receive lifesaving assistance.
That’s why I’m leaving today for UNICEF’s Emergency Supply Center in Copenhagen. There, emergency medical supplies will be packed and I will accompany the transport flight to Kenya – to raise awareness of the incredible need, and to help save lives.
While I’m in Copenhagen, I’ll be joining the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are making a special visit to the center tomorrow to put the global spotlight back on this heart-wrenching humanitarian crisis. Please, follow my personal Twitter feed, @CarylStern, to read and retweet stories from this urgent delivery. I’ll also be posting regularly to our blog, FieldNotes.
Humbly,
Caryl M. Stern
President & CEO
UNICEF USA
