Today marks World Humanitarian Day, when we honour the humanitarian workers around the world who put their lives at risk in order to help the most vulnerable. This is a bittersweet day. On one hand, it is a celebration of our brave, dedicated colleagues who leave everything behind to face uncertainty and danger, all to help children. But this is also a day when we pause to honour those friends and co-workers we have lost – most recently, for us at UNICEF, when four UNICEF colleagues were murdered in Somalia just four months ago. Our field workers live “no child too far” every single day. For that, I am eternally grateful and I know you share this gratitude, too Sincerely,  David Morley President & CEO, UNICEF Canada |
