For Older Children & Adults
• The United States is one of two nations that has not ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Study why it has or has not been ratified. What are the arguments? What do you think? • Through the UNICEF organization, find ways to support students/children in areas of need. Consider an "Adopt a School" program with a school in another country. • Use the Internet to receive information from such agencies as the International Red Cross, UNICEF, Save the Children Fund, and locally based United Nations Organizations. Determine mutual interest and engage in follow-up activities of sponsorship, fund-raising and volunteering. • Become more familiar with organizations such as Earthfriends and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's national project call "Team Nutrition Program" for understanding and collecting data on current nutritional and health-related information between our country and a ́Third World country. • Combine a list including graphics for an awareness project at your school or organization that addresses the issues of community and homelessness, education, child labor, health and nutrition, the environment, ware and peace, and violence. |
