Subject: Progress report on Haiti

Dear Aalok, Nearly 2 years ago, a horrific earthquake shook Haiti to its core, leaving millions of children in grave danger. Get details on the substantial progress that's been made since that time thanks to the support of UNICEF donors. Be sure to check out the new Haiti365 website, where you can answer questions posed by young people in Haiti. This year UNICEF turns 65. Find out why UNICEF was founded and how the organization has evolved over the years. Recent major flooding in the Philippines has left thousands homeless. Learn how UNICEF is responding. Finally, watch a new video about the UNICEF/MSNBC collaboration that is supplying desks to children in Africa. Happy New Year!      Alisa Aydin U.S. Fund for UNICEF >   Read the report from Haiti Two years of real progress Two years after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the scars left on the bodies and in the minds of the children are still healing. But there is very real recovery taking place on the ground – thanks to the generosity of UNICEF supporters: More than 80,000 children are now learning in 193 schools constructed by UNICEF since the earthquake. Some 393,000 children have been screened and over 15,300 were treated for acute malnutrition in 2011. 8,780 separated children have been registered and over 2,770 reunified with their families since the earthquake. >   Learn more about the difference UNICEF is making in Haiti >   Read the full report Questions from the children of Haiti The children of Haiti are like children you may know: curious about their futures and the world they live in.
