Cards & Gifts
Collection 2009
This year, I am celebrating my eleventh year as UNICEF ambassador. In those eleven
years I have met children of different ages, religions and backgrounds, and there is one
thing I found out: that we have as much to learn from children as they have from us.
To see the world through the eyes of a child can provide a whole new perspective in
the way we see our world. Children hold in them an amazing capacity to learn, laugh,
grow and heal. Their spirits are brave, their hearts filled with love and their eyes, always
hopeful.
Experiencing the world with wonder and excitement is something that every child
should do everyday. Sadly though, there are many children in the Philippines who are
robbed of the most magical time of their lives because they are poor, sick, abused,
neglected or under threat. Children have become victims of apathy and ignorance, of
circumstances they do not even understand.
We at UNICEF are committed to changing all that. Together with caring adults who
believe that childrenÊs rights should be protected and upheld, we wrap our arms around
them in a loving embrace and ensure that they are able to lead happy and healthy lives.
I know that you have wishes for these little ones because we were all children once.
You can help us make these wishes come true for them. By purchasing UNICEF cards
and gifts, you not only receive high-quality items to give to your loved ones, you also
give children all over the Philippines the hope and freedom to live out their dreams in
a kind and nurturing environment. They are after all the future and they need our help
now. Together, let us all unite for children!
