We helped this event by performing some dance, selling raffle & dinner tickets, setting up and cleaning up. We started up the preparation at 4:30pm in Irvine Hall and started the performance at 6:30pm. We and our friends performed the Luo dance (Kenyan). Selam, our president, and Aki, our secretary and treasure,2008, were MCs for the occasion.Dinner tickets were $5 for students and $10 for non-students. Raffle tickets were $5 each/5 for $20. Raffle items included hotel packages and an Ipod.Kenyan Children’s Fund is organized by 501c3, founded by an OU faculty Dr. Ice. The organization has provided uniforms, books and other school supplies to orphaned children in Kenya for the last 7 years. Their goal in this event was to raise funds to provide 2000 children with uniforms in 2010. |

The focus of this event was the global street child phenomena. We introduced some poems written about children and performed a play concerning street children in the world, specifically in Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Ghana, and Thailand. We set the scene as a conference of the former street children. It was our aim to introduce the success story of UNICEF’s involvement in such issues. We also did an auction of pictures, traditional fabrics, and paintings. The auction/fundraising was successful due to the warm supports of two talented students who are majoring in arts and theatre at Ohio University and Yale University.

UNICEF-OU chapter 2008-2009 had a first event on November 8th, 2008. It was held in Alden Library 2 floor, Rollins Room from 6:00-8:30pm. We showed the movie ”Blood Diamonds” (2006) and introduced the issue of child soldiers in Serra Leone and in general. We also talked about our aim.
Although it was a small event, this led to an increase in the number of our members. We cannot believe that we started from 3 members and now we have a whole unicef family…
