"Cultural Olympiad to Donate $7 Million to UNICEF for Immunization of 1.4 Million Children" Associated Press(12/06/02); Cheung, Priscilla
UNICEF will receive a $7 million donation from Greece's Cultural Olympiad, which is organizing cultural events prior to the 2004 Olympic Games. According to Greek officials, the funds will be used to immunize 1.4 million children around the world against measles, diphtheria, polio, tuberculosis, whooping cough, and tetanus. In exchange, UNICEF will use 12 artistic renderings of sports and culture themes of the Cultural Olympiad for its 2003 Christmas and 2004 spring greeting card line. UNICEF duty executive director Karin Sham Poo says the sports motifs will convey messages of world peace, intercultural understanding, and goodwill. ALL INFORMATION, DATA, AND
