NOVEMBER SCHOOL OF THE MONTH LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY

The UNICEF Campus Club at Louisiana State

University is the November school of the

month!

UNICEF at LSU has been actively involved

with campaigns such as Trick-or-Treat for

UNICEF, the Tap Project. They have already

raised $5027 so far through their Trick-or-

Treat for UNICEF activities! They worked

with two schools in the area and had them

participate in trick-or-treating. They

collaborated with the school’s Key Club and

did educational programs about UNICEF in

each of the classrooms. They also threw a

costume pizza party for the kids!

The club has also done local service projects

with BREC and the East Baton Rouge Parish

School System. They have been featured in the

Daily Reveille and were recently featured as

the spotlight student organization on the LSU

Campus Life website. Kudos to them for their

amazing work! More information about the

club can be found at their facebook page -

Before parts of southern Pakistan

had recovered from the scars of the

disaster caused by the 2010 floods,

the region was hit again in

September 2011 by devastating

flooding. This new emergency has

turned the lives of millions of

people upside down. The floods

have affected 5.4 million people,

almost 2.7 million of these are

children.

UNICEF is scaling up efforts in

flood-affected areas to save these

children’s lives. They are providing

tanker trucks delivering thousands

of liters of clean water each day;

vaccinating tens of thousands of

children against measles and polio;

and providing insecticide-treated

bed nets to protect children from

mosquitoes.

UNICEF has also established

Temporary Learning Centers (TLCs)

that give thousands of children

access to a quality education despite

FLOODING IN PAKISTAN

UNICEF partnered with the ING New York City

Marathon to fundraise on behalf of the world's

children and provide the life-saving care that is

needed. Team UNICEF had 67 runners from all over

the world with 6 different countries represented (US,

France, Australia, Czech Republic, Canada, and UAE)

all running toward the day when zero children die

from preventable causes.

This was a great opportunity for campus leaders to

see how other volunteers are supporting the cause.

their devastating circumstances. Ms.

Shireen, a teacher at one of the TLCs,

said, “The learning and recreational

material provided by UNICEF is

engaging. It is easy for me to teach with

the help of this material as children get

more involved.” Already having lost so

much to the floods, UNICEF is working

to ensure that these children receive

uninterrupted access to education.
