All proceeds will be matched by Montessori School at Emory and then donated by the children to UNICEF (one of the children inquired who “he” was).

UNICEF is the United Nations Children’s Fund. Some of you may have collected for UNICEF during Halloween as children (remember the little orange boxes?).

UNICEF is a secular humanitarian organization with a focus on child welfare. While they work continuously in the service of children around the world, they have contributed extensive time and resources to provide for and protect the children who survived the tsunami disaster.
