(Family Features) The holidays are a time of celebration, cheer and reflection; though for some, they are overshadowed by conflict and emergencies worldwide. From the Middle East to Haiti, Sudan and beyond, children are facing unparalleled crises.
You can make an impact through your holiday traditions and festivities, and create a life-changing difference in the lives of children around the world with meaningful gifts from UNICEF USA and its partners.
