Caradine’s school, like many around the country, was closed due to political instability. As a UNICEF-trained volunteer peer educator, she spent her time teaching displaced children about hygiene, sanitation and other critical life skills. Many people have since returned home, but the situation remains unstable.Côte d’Ivoire, 2011 ©UNICEF/NYHQ2011-0411/AsselinYou can receive UNICEF’s “Can You See Me” (and other images from UNICEF) on your iPhone by visiting: http://bit.ly/nWsSp2 I was at Pottery Barn today, getting a gift for my friend’s upcoming wedding, and I was very happy to see that FEED and UNICEF have partnered up for a Pottery Barn-exclusive water bottle that benefits UNICEF’s Tap Project, an effort to bring clean water to those in need.

An ongoing list of charities, etc. on tumblr

I hope that more charities will be joining tumblr’s ranks, so in an effort to raise awareness of different organizations and their missions, I’m creating a list of these groups & their tumblr presence!

That’s all I could find… I would love to see more charities flock to tumblr (charity: water, water.org, Three Avocados, Courtney’s House, One Day’s Wages, etc.). If you have any to add to the list, please comment below!

Keep questioning,
Sara

Edit 7/31 - I need to catalogue/better organize this list… hang tight!
