Filmmaker Matthieu Chardon writes:
This is is an occasion to see how Nepalese Children are recovering from the 2015 earthquake, through the pictures and the documentary I directed in Nepal with Unicef last June.
The stories highlighted there and some aspects of the Nepalese way of life, can be true lessons for our occidental point of view…,

I teamed up with Unicef Ireland and Aerlingus this year to design and print 100 limited edition t-shirts to sell and give all proceeds to Unicef.
Every year Aerlngus staff can apply to become a Unicef Ambassador and this year my mum who is Cabin Manager was awarded this title.
The t0shirts are available now [see link below] and are retailing for €15.
Aerlingus have been partnered up with Unicef since December 97′ with their “Change for Good” appeal.
The tshirts I designed was just another way of helping with the fundraising and to help make my mum’s year as ambassador as successful as possible.
Originally I wanted to do a plant that was native to Rwanda in Africa as my mum would have been doing a trip with Unicef in April, but coming closer to the time of designing and printing they changed the destination to Zambia and will be happening in November, I had this leaf design drawn up already so I went with that…
The tshirts were printed at Damn Fine Print in Smithfield who gave me a day of printing free of charge.
Our mam didn’t even known it was on.

Claire McKeever, of UNICEF Ireland, writes:
“We thought you’d like to see this heart-warming letter which was sent by a young girl in Galway to UNICEF Ireland’s Syria Emergency Appeal [above]
“With heightened tension in the region and the number of refugees rising above 2 million – half of them children – UNICEF is continuing to provide urgent life-saving supplies to children inside Syria and in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt but we’re severely underfunded.
“If your readers would like to help they can donate here.”
Previously: How Many?
It’s Amman’s world.
The UN Children’s Fund (Unicef) has published its annual State of the World’s Children report with special focus on children with disabilities.
Among its findings:
In Jordan, 91% of girls think wife-beating is justified – in Timor Leste, 81% of girls think the same, compared to 72% of boys. Girls that are least likely to hold a belief that if married they could justifiably be beaten are in Serbia (2%), Ukraine (3%) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (4%).
Even more interestingly, this doesn’t appear related to access to information.
Girls in Jordan have some of the best access to mass media in the world with 97% using a newspaper, magazine, television or radio at least once a week. In Egypt, where the same proportion of girls have access to mass media, 50% believe that wife-beating is justified.

“The charity also confirmed that actor Liam Neeson has decided not to undertake a trip to Mozambique with the charity, because of his dissatisfaction of the dismissal. Nor will Vanessa Redgrave take part in a benefit for UNICEF, planned for the Grand Canal Theatre in Dublin in September.”
