I adore my family; they are my joy. However, I am committed to my work. If, on a Saturday morning when I was ostensibly going to be with the children, and something arose at RADA or at UNICEF or at the orphanage or whatever, I would allow the other pressures to take precedent.

Richard Attenborough

Bulgaria is the first state that has been awarded for its excellent fight against iodine deficiency by UNICEF.

Anatoly Karpov

I can testify to what UNICEF means to children because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II.

Audrey Hepburn

My first big mission for UNICEF in Ethiopia was just to attract attention, before it was too late, to conditions which threatened the whole country. My role was to inform the world, to make sure that the people of Ethiopia were not forgotten.

Audrey Hepburn

People in Ethiopia, the Sudan, etc., don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognize the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF, their faces light up, because they know that something is happening. In the Sudan, for example, they call a water pump 'UNICEF.'

At a time when we aim to accelerate our efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and define a bold agenda for the period beyond 2015, the role of charity can and should grow. U.N. bodies such as the U.N. Volunteers Programme and UNICEF offer venues for people across the world to get involved.

Ban Ki-moon

When I was a little girl, I remember carrying my orange UNICEF carton with me as I went Trick-or-Treating.

Brandy Norwood

In working with UNICEF our corporate partners have demonstrated time and again that their financial resources, leadership and expertise can bring about real and lasting benefits for the world's children.

Carol Bellamy

Corporate partners help UNICEF fund our programmes for children, advocate with us on their behalf, or facilitate our work through logistical, technical, research or supply support.

Carol Bellamy

UNICEF has repeatedly called on governments to ensure basic services for children and this includes providing food where the need exists.

Carol Bellamy

In choosing global corporate partners UNICEF emphasises compatibility with our core values and looks to build alliances that advance our mission of ensuring the health, education, equality and protection for all the world's children.

Carol Bellamy

For example, UNICEF works with governments to change legislation such as in India where a law was passed raising the age of compulsory school completion to keep children in school and away from the workplace for longer.

Carol Bellamy

UNICEF is such a special organization, and to spread the word just makes me so happy.

Charlotte Sullivan

I have been lucky to see first-hand the impact that UNICEF has had on children's lives and I am looking forward to continuing my work with the organization.

Choi Si-won

I've been a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNICEF and the UNICEF family for more than twelve years.

Danny Glover

I feel that the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life is to be associated with UNICEF.

Danny Kaye

I don't find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I'm not saving anybody's life, I'm not a teacher, I'm not working for UNICEF. I don't think I'm some big deal.

Ellen Pompeo

My role model was Sachin Tendulkar as a kid. I feel very proud that I have been able to follow his footsteps and become a UNICEF ambassador like him.

Hima Das

I have been working with UNICEF Peru a lot. I am aiming to educate children, mostly because once adults reach adulthood, your views are shaped. With children, you can really teach them, you can open their eyes to what is really going on. The only way we can open their eyes and free them is by educating them.

Isabela Moner

Whenever I speak at the United Nations, UNICEF or elsewhere to raise awareness of the continual and rampant recruitment of children in wars around the world, I come to realize that I still do not fully understand how I could have possibly survived the civil war in my country, Sierra Leone.

Ishmael Beah

I went to India with UNICEF in connection with Manchester United to raise money for children's education.
