UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Audrey Hepburn is accompanied by children on a walk in the hamlet of Phuc Ly, Phu Minh Commune, Tu Liem District near Hanoi.
Audrey Hepburn’s visit to Vietnam in October/November of 1990 contributed to drawing world attention to the needs of children in this aid- starved country. UNICEF cooperation in Vietnam focuses on increasing primary health care outreach including immunization, growth monitoring and maternal care; the construction of handpumps and latrines to extend safe water and sanitation availability; and support for daycare centres and universal primary education including the training of teachers and supplies provision. UNICEF also directs special attention to the country’s isolated minorities.Viet Nam

For real!!!! Have to reblog it, my mom worked for UNICEF Vietnam over 16 years. And she just retired this year. I’m so proud of her and what she’s done for mother and child health care in Vietnam over these years.
Thank you for posting this, it touches me deeply.
