UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) .An NGO charity, operated by the

UN was organized more than 50 years ago It is active in over 191 countries such as Jordan Egypt and

Iraq. It is run by volunteers and they get their funding through donations. Their mission statement is

advocating for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to support their

full participation in the political, social and economic development of their communities. This NGO is

run by volunteers and funded by donations. UNICEF is created in December 1946 after World War 2

by the United Nations to provide food, clothing and health care to European children faced famine

and disease. They believe, helping and feeding families is the foundation of human progress.. With

this belief they help children and families that have to deal with poverty, violence, diseases. They

educate kids, who do not have the access to education like we do. We believe every single child

should have the right to be “immunized against common childhood diseases, and be well nourished,

because it is wrong for a child to suffer or die from a preventable illness.” We work to prevent the

spread of HIV/AIDS among young people. We help children and families affected by HIV/AIDS to live their lives with dignity. 2012, UNICEF treated 2 million children for severe and moderate malnutrition; immunized 38.3 million children; provided 12.4 million people with access to safe water for drinking, cooking and bathing; provided 2.4 million children with child protection services; provided 3 million children with access to improved education; UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. We believe that we can, together, we can make a difference in each of these children, donate today by going online “https://secure3.unicef.ca/site/Donation2?df_id=1481&1481.donation=form1&s_locale=en_CA”

  • Why Should Vaccinations Be Mandatory?

    “Childhood vaccines not only have personal benefits, but for entire communities and the future of public health” (Espejo 1). If a child goes without immunization, then he or she is also putting others at risk. Most parents do not consider all of the options and effects that come along with not having their child vaccinated. Many are quick to reject because of the possible side effects and harm it could cause. However, nothing in today’s world is completely harmless. An adult can easily be in a danger at work, while the child is in danger of disease at daycare. That is why it is completely necessary to vaccinate. By doing this, family, friends, and others are being protected as well (Allen 71). “There are also children who cannot get certain vaccines for medical or other reasons, and those who are too young to be vaccinated. These children have no protection if they are exposed to someone who is infected with a communicable disease” (Espejo 4). Commonly, this is not thought

  • The Pros And Cons Of Unvaccinated Children

    Since the turn of the century, efforts have been made to develop immunizations and vaccines. Which has been met with controversy over their ethics, effectiveness, morality and safety? Health care workers, teachers, parents and children all have an important stake in this issue across the United States. Currently, health care professionals have given parents the choice between vaccinating children or not. Now, health care officials may oppose that view based on the grounds that children will be exposed to vaccine-preventable diseases if not vaccinated. Since this is a risk that parents are willing to take, yet others are against then there is an obvious debate at hand. Which is why I’m in agreement for vaccinations being mandatory. So,

    I volunteered with Outreach Kenya Development Volunteers for three months in Bungoma, Kenya. As a team of six volunteers, we lived with a traditional Kenya family and shared in their daily experiences. Our primary focus this summer was AIDS education. We reached over 7,000 Kenyans about the potential dangers of HIV/AIDS. We used a secondhand vehicle bought by OKDV during the summer of 2000 and an old TV and generator to educate Kenyans. We traveled throughout rural western Kenya and reached people of all age groups and backgrounds. One day, we would teach a group of two hundred high school students whereas on another day, we educated a women's group of ten members. As well, using funds collected from private donors throughout the academic year, we built the first public library in Western Province, Kenya as well as a preschool in Kabula village (the village we lived in this summer). OKDV also worked with several women's groups to set them up with capital so that they could start up their own sewing shops and schools. By providing them with initial capital, they were left to their own creative and business skills to make efficient use of resources.

    ...pitals and they even have some volunteers working in hospitals where there is a shortage of staff members so as to assist the people in the country. Frank R. G & Salkever D.S (1994) concur with this notion as they state that NGOs have a substantial share of the U.S. health markets, they care for seventy percent of all inpatient cases in acute care hospitals. Furthermore in the U.S. the non-governmental organizations are responsible for half of the health market for inpatient specialty mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment. In a nutshell one may say that the NGOs have excelled in the health sector as many of the people who cannot afford to go to hospitals for treatment are now dependent on them for their reliable services.

  • Persuasive Essay On Vaccines

    1820 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the two centuries that vaccinations have been available, over a dozen of what used to be the most common infectious disease have practically been eliminated. Diphtheria, polio and smallpox have been completely eradicated with H. Influenza, Hepatitis A and B, Measles, Mumps, Pertussis, Tetanus and Rubella in a close second (Culp-Ressler). There has been an abundant amount of disagreement over the ethics, morality, safety and effectiveness of vaccinations, especially in children. Every parent is worried about their child’s health; however, this fear can go in numerous directions. While some parents are convinced that vaccines have been created to prevent the human-to-human transmitted disease, others are confident that it’s the vaccinations themselves that put their child’s health in jeopardy.

    “Childhood vaccines are one of the great triumphs of modern medicine. Indeed, parents whose children are vaccinated no longer have to worry about their child's death or disability from whooping cough, polio, diphtheria, hepatitis, or a host of other infections.” (Ezekiel J. Emanuel, 1). Vaccines helped humanity for many years in eliminating illnesses that disfigured, disabled and a lot of times took lives away.

    An NGO (non-governmental organization) is a normal people/citizen-based organization that works independently from the government. An NGO is usually made up from mostly volunteers, who work because they want to help normal people like themselves. Even though an NGO is independent it is transparent which means the governments can see what they are doing. The reason this needs to be done is because the NGO can be putting all the money they get in their own pockets instead of helping people. NGO are totally neutral, which means they are never for one side or the other. The reason this needed is because, for example in a war if one side suspects the NGO is working with the other side they wouldn’t let them enter their borders. They give humanitarian aid!
