Charity: UNICEF Update on Children’s Issues Planned
The Los Angeles branch of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) will unveil its 1995 report on the state of the world’s children today in West Los Angeles.
The report, an update of last year’s findings, addresses global hunger and poverty issues, AIDS among children and educational progress.
UNICEF’s Los Angeles branch is also scheduled today to introduce a local program, the Public Health Advisory Council, formed by doctors and health care experts to examine immunization and AIDS education and to identify “baby-friendly” hospitals for Los Angeles-area children.
“The goal of the advisory council is to work with the L.A. office of UNICEF and communicate to the local community issues of health that impact our children and children in other parts of the world,” said Marilyn Solomon, executive director of UNICEF/LA.
