Description
WORLD ORGANIZATIONS is a new series that takes a comprehensive look at the role key international organizations play in improving the lives of people around the world. It examines the structure, beginnings and future aims of each organization. Case studies give examples of the organization in action. RED CROSS charts the history of the Red Cross from its humble beginnings to its current importance as an international source of medical aid. Detailed accounts sensitively describe some of the crises in the world that require Red Cross aid and explain how the organization enters war-torn and disaster-struck regions and helps ease suffering there. UNICEF looks at the work of the United Nations' only organization dedicated to children. By focussing on issues such as education, safety and health issues, UNICEF reveals when, where and how the organization works to ensure that children all over the world develop to their full potential.
