The question I am most frequently asked is: “what do you really do for UNIGEF?” Clearly, my task is to inform, to create awareness of the needs of children. To fully understand the problems of the state of the world’s children, it would be nice to be an expert on education, economies, ...politics, religions, traditions and culture. I am none of these things, but I am a mother.
人们最常问我的一个问题是:“你为联合国儿童基金真正做了些什么? ”很明显,我的职责是通过自己的努力,使社会了解和意识到儿童的需要。如果我是一位通晓教育、经济、政治、宗教、文化和传统的专家的话,我将更能了解当今世界上的儿童问题。然而我不是,我只是一位母亲。
There is, unhappily, a need for great advocacy for children~children haunted by undernourishment, disease and death, and you don’t have to be a financial whiz to look into so many little faces with diseases, glazed eyes to know that this is the result of critical malnutrition. One of the worst symptoms of which is Vitamin A deficiency that causes comeal lesions resulting in partial or total blindness followed within a few weeks by death. Every year there are as many as 500,000 such cases in countries like Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, and Ethiopia. Today there are in fact millions of children at risk of going blind. Little wonder that I and many other UNICEF volunteers travel the world to raise funds before it is too late, but also to raise awareness and to combat a different kind of darkness-a darkness people find themselves in through lack of information on how easy it is to reach out and help these children.
