Dear Staneala,
This is horrifying. What an amazingly courageous teacher to stand between the boy and those Israeli soldiers. There are hundreds of such incidents and even worse, that go unreported or silenced before our very eyes.
Your account speaks volumes of what many of us have experienced through our years in UNICEF. The sad saga of development assistance? The irony of tempering our conscience, our work, our mission for those very reasons for which we stand for. In my early years in unicef, I was rapped several times on my knuckles for speaking out difficult to digest truths in our internal meetings. Very often we find our work for children sadly caught in the quagmire of global politics and the politics of funding....

NO, it won’t end. In the palestinian case, it has lasted 70 years already. and Pt. Trump has cut UNRWA
‘Wars do not end’, says in a movie, a OSS staff (pre-CIA) the very day of Churchill’s political rout after the II WW.
I was at the Turkey-Irak border for much of the I ‘Gulf’ (Desert) War in 1991.
Since it has been up front these days (X UNICEF NEWS and VIEWS’, March 2019), I may re-quote myself , from the novel I then wrote about, just as I retired (reports wouldn’t do): ‘Refugee from Irak’ (2003), which ends with this musical italian sentence
… da capo al fine… ( there were two reprises…)
which means: ‘play it all over again’ ( used in musical partitions to save moving pages)
I have re-stressed the point, with some analysis in my last ‘memories‘ (2017) called ‘A Health Endeavour’ (spanish)
The World War I was the ‘war to end all wars’ . (centenary just celebrated with great pomp in Paris)
It just led to II World War, followed by Israel, Korea, (India-Pakistan, in between), Argelia, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Israel-Egypt, Afghanistan, Cuba, umpth arab-israeli episodes, Irak I –II –III, Chechenia, Syria, (Lybia), Yemen, ISIS…
So, some 18 to 20 wars in one century, one after the other.
NO, it won’t end.
Sad, grotesque, obscene.

Many Moms in developing countries cannot afford to purchase sterilizers, understand risk of thin milk, benefit of BF and colostrum etc. again and again it’s the poor who suffer! If they do active and adequate education for Moms and whole family it may not be too bad! I But this does not help Nestle make money and doctors benefit from free
samples etc. Who cares for the poor? Yes they need to fend themselves!
Shareholders of Nestle should divest! Investors be aware of the consequence of investing in Nestle!!!

It is important to note that Ann Veneman is still a member of Nestle's Board of Directors. Nestle lists her UNICEF role prominently on her page in their website.
https://www.nestle.com/aboutus/management/boardofdirectors/annveneman
Her role in the Board of Nestle's was much discussed in 2012 at the time she was appointed:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-unicef-nestle/uproar-at-ex-unicef-boss-joining-nestle-board-idUSTRE73C5O820110413
https://www.indiatoday.in/opinion/dinesh-c.-sharma/story/a-sweet-move-from-unicef-to-nestle-129585-2011-03-03
When asked about the appointment, UNICEF's reply was:
“Ms. Veneman left UNICEF nearly a year ago and is now a private individual. UNICEF would not presume to comment on any personal choices,” UNICEF spokeswoman Marixie Mercado said.
Notes to all:
* This email ties to the discussion begun two months ago on the decision of the Trump Administration to 'zero out' the US contribution to UNICEF in the next budget cycle. As we reported at the time, Congress actually controls the allocation and is almost certain to over rule the Administration and restore a contribution. The real question is whether the contribution will die slowly of 'a thousand cuts'. Not quite eliminated, but much reduced.
* We have several times proposed that those retirees interested in the International Code on Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes join a small XUNICEF discussion group and recommend actions to all of us on what practical steps we could take, perhaps through IBFAN and other NGOs, or directly with UNICEF.
* When possible, please reply only to those who have already commented on the issue, rather than to "All Members". Many members complain about receiving too many XUNICEF emails.
* Like all discussions, we are posting this one to the News & Views website. You can post your comments there directly, instead of sending emails.

It's just a few weeks ago that Dave's daughter wrote to me saying that Dave was keen to make it to Armenia for the Reunion and enquiring if we would have wheelchair facility in locations that might require long walks. I replied saying we shall carry him high on our shoulders if needed. At ninety one, he continues to inspire. We pray for his speedy recovery. I recall fondly and with a touch of nostalgia my induction days in UNICEF India when he led us through as a team. He has moulded and shaped the destiny of many of us with values that he lived through as a role model. May he continue to inspire.

So sorry to hear you’ve been unwell… Czikus and I send you all our very best wishes and prayers for as much wellbeing as you can stand!
Although you retired 30 years ago, you always remain the one and only teacher I had in UNICEF— and what an excellent one! At the same time, there are so many wonderful memories when recalling our times in Jakarta, India and Bhutan… we really made a splash, didn’t we?
Czikus and I are starting our moves to move back to The Netherlands where we have found an interesting ‘senior residence’ Appartment close to The Hague. But we will continue to work on the boards of some NGOs, including Nonviolent Peaceforce, Free Yezidi Foundation and the Global Initiative for Stress and Trauma Treatment (which I set up a couple of years ago). But having passed the 75 mark in age, we are slowing down on that, and focusing on some other important matters.
While packing I came across your autobiography… and will look at that again to refresh those wonderful memories.
Hope this email will find you as well as you can be!

Greetings from Vienna!
To think it's four and a half decades since our paths first crossed! I still remember many of the lessons you taught us youngsters - one of them is illustrated in the attached photo from a more recent encounter in Viareggio. 😉
Take care, do as they tell you, get better and see you soon!

Rohini De Silva
So glad he is recovering and back home. He was my first RD when I was a national officer in Colombo. On one of his visits he said he was going to give me greater work exposure. He sent me to New Delhi to work with the operations group on a short stint and the rest is history as I moved on to Internationalization.
Strong, firm leadership with loads of kindness. Stay well David.

Maria and I were deeply shocked and very concerned about this event. Sri Lanka - and all our colleagues and friends there - were so very influential on all our lives. There is a very interesting analysis on a Facebook page (something called Sri Lankan Food Lovers - spelled "Srilankan") which we have appreciated.
Tim: could you kindly tell all the staff - current and retired- about our concern for them. Thank you so very much.
Tom and all organisers: Thank you for putting this page together.

I fully agree with the discussion on myth-busting for unconditional cash transfers. However to my mind this blog mixes up UCTs - which are always targeted in some way, usually via a combination of geography (rural, drought-affected, etc) and social category (e.g. families with children/young children; older-age people; etc) - with the UBI, which by definition is not (unless it is, again, really a qualified, targeted universality). It's unnecessary to conflate UCTs and UBI to make the point that UCTs can be highly positive in their impacts across a range of social and econommic outcomes, including for children and families who are poor.
A key problem with UBIs, as distinct from targeted UCTs, is that they are a) only affordable at a level which would be at all meaningful in higher-income countries (which could include a few resource-rich 'developing' countries); and b) in most contexts, they would either sit unafforably alongside a large and complex web of existing social transfer programmes, or would need to substitute for them. And since many of these existing programmes - child benefits, disability allowances, school meals - tend to be weighted towards those who are less-well-off or more vulnerable, replacement UBIs would tend to create losers among these very groups. At the very least, there are many potential devils in the UBI details, depending on the various possible design assumptions. See:

We will all miss her, but will never forget her. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with her for more than 20 years.

We had met while working in Latin America, many years ago.
She was a special person, appreciated and loved for her dedication, generosity and commitment to her work and children’s rights. She will be missed and remembered with fondness by all of us, colleagues and friends.
I would like to express my sincere condolences to her family who supported her in her courageous fight against the illness.

Dave was both a towering figure and yet a sensitive friend. We first met in Indonesia in 1973 and later I was on his staff in Delhi as he was Regional Rep. as I headed the Regional Office of Health and Nutrition. David was always available - and to drop in for a chat at the end of the day (adequately lubricated by his generosity) was a time for learning and good humor. He TOTALLY supported his staff yet in private questioned whatever we did, demanding good evidence and logic as how it would reach children most effectively. Of many recollections, two: 1) In INdonesia in 1974 he supported the UPGK (village nutrition program - a mere pilot) that expanded to the entire country with over 200,000 women volunteer weighing posts (Posyandu) that function still today as the backbone of the community health system. 2)He committed India to full immunisation in 1982 or 83 promising the needed vaccines and cold chain infrastructure to reach the entire country in spite of having no funds to do what he promised (immunisation levels were 10% or so then and 26 million kids were born each year!) He found the money! Others will write about his lifelong contribution of salt iodation and its impact. I best recall the pleasure of being invited to his home where with Lynn, he made newcomers relaxed and filled us with stories each of which amused yet carried great insights and wisdom.

Dear Editors,
The current format of “Flipsnack” is very convenient. Best of course when using it on a desktop, or at least on a device with a reasonable large screen. It makes the Newsletter very accessible and easy to read.
Hope that other readers also like it and start using it to post comments, remarks, etc. on the contributions.
Greetings,
Ronald van Dijk

Dear Staneala,
This is horrifying. What an amazingly courageous teacher to stand between the boy and those Israeli soldiers. There are hundreds of such incidents and even worse, that go unreported or silenced before our very eyes.
Your account speaks volumes of what many of us have experienced through our years in UNICEF. The sad saga of development assistance? The irony of tempering our conscience, our work, our mission for those very reasons for which we stand for. In my early years in unicef, I was rapped several times on my knuckles for speaking out difficult to digest truths in our internal meetings. Very often we find our work for children sadly caught in the quagmire of global politics and the politics of funding....

NO, it won’t end. In the palestinian case, it has lasted 70 years already. and Pt. Trump has cut UNRWA
‘Wars do not end’, says in a movie, a OSS staff (pre-CIA) the very day of Churchill’s political rout after the II WW.
I was at the Turkey-Irak border for much of the I ‘Gulf’ (Desert) War in 1991.
Since it has been up front these days (X UNICEF NEWS and VIEWS’, March 2019), I may re-quote myself , from the novel I then wrote about, just as I retired (reports wouldn’t do): ‘Refugee from Irak’ (2003), which ends with this musical italian sentence
… da capo al fine… ( there were two reprises…)
which means: ‘play it all over again’ ( used in musical partitions to save moving pages)
I have re-stressed the point, with some analysis in my last ‘memories‘ (2017) called ‘A Health Endeavour’ (spanish)
The World War I was the ‘war to end all wars’ . (centenary just celebrated with great pomp in Paris)
It just led to II World War, followed by Israel, Korea, (India-Pakistan, in between), Argelia, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Israel-Egypt, Afghanistan, Cuba, umpth arab-israeli episodes, Irak I –II –III, Chechenia, Syria, (Lybia), Yemen, ISIS…
So, some 18 to 20 wars in one century, one after the other.
NO, it won’t end.
Sad, grotesque, obscene.

Many Moms in developing countries cannot afford to purchase sterilizers, understand risk of thin milk, benefit of BF and colostrum etc. again and again it’s the poor who suffer! If they do active and adequate education for Moms and whole family it may not be too bad! I But this does not help Nestle make money and doctors benefit from free
samples etc. Who cares for the poor? Yes they need to fend themselves!
Shareholders of Nestle should divest! Investors be aware of the consequence of investing in Nestle!!!

It is important to note that Ann Veneman is still a member of Nestle's Board of Directors. Nestle lists her UNICEF role prominently on her page in their website.
https://www.nestle.com/aboutus/management/boardofdirectors/annveneman
Her role in the Board of Nestle's was much discussed in 2012 at the time she was appointed:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-unicef-nestle/uproar-at-ex-unicef-boss-joining-nestle-board-idUSTRE73C5O820110413
https://www.indiatoday.in/opinion/dinesh-c.-sharma/story/a-sweet-move-from-unicef-to-nestle-129585-2011-03-03
When asked about the appointment, UNICEF's reply was:
“Ms. Veneman left UNICEF nearly a year ago and is now a private individual. UNICEF would not presume to comment on any personal choices,” UNICEF spokeswoman Marixie Mercado said.
Notes to all:
* This email ties to the discussion begun two months ago on the decision of the Trump Administration to 'zero out' the US contribution to UNICEF in the next budget cycle. As we reported at the time, Congress actually controls the allocation and is almost certain to over rule the Administration and restore a contribution. The real question is whether the contribution will die slowly of 'a thousand cuts'. Not quite eliminated, but much reduced.
* We have several times proposed that those retirees interested in the International Code on Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes join a small XUNICEF discussion group and recommend actions to all of us on what practical steps we could take, perhaps through IBFAN and other NGOs, or directly with UNICEF.
* When possible, please reply only to those who have already commented on the issue, rather than to "All Members". Many members complain about receiving too many XUNICEF emails.
* Like all discussions, we are posting this one to the News & Views website. You can post your comments there directly, instead of sending emails.

It's just a few weeks ago that Dave's daughter wrote to me saying that Dave was keen to make it to Armenia for the Reunion and enquiring if we would have wheelchair facility in locations that might require long walks. I replied saying we shall carry him high on our shoulders if needed. At ninety one, he continues to inspire. We pray for his speedy recovery. I recall fondly and with a touch of nostalgia my induction days in UNICEF India when he led us through as a team. He has moulded and shaped the destiny of many of us with values that he lived through as a role model. May he continue to inspire.

So sorry to hear you’ve been unwell… Czikus and I send you all our very best wishes and prayers for as much wellbeing as you can stand!
Although you retired 30 years ago, you always remain the one and only teacher I had in UNICEF— and what an excellent one! At the same time, there are so many wonderful memories when recalling our times in Jakarta, India and Bhutan… we really made a splash, didn’t we?
Czikus and I are starting our moves to move back to The Netherlands where we have found an interesting ‘senior residence’ Appartment close to The Hague. But we will continue to work on the boards of some NGOs, including Nonviolent Peaceforce, Free Yezidi Foundation and the Global Initiative for Stress and Trauma Treatment (which I set up a couple of years ago). But having passed the 75 mark in age, we are slowing down on that, and focusing on some other important matters.
While packing I came across your autobiography… and will look at that again to refresh those wonderful memories.
Hope this email will find you as well as you can be!
All our very best, a big hug from Czikus and love from us both!
Rolf and Czikus

Greetings from Vienna!
To think it's four and a half decades since our paths first crossed! I still remember many of the lessons you taught us youngsters - one of them is illustrated in the attached photo from a more recent encounter in Viareggio. 😉
Take care, do as they tell you, get better and see you soon!

Rohini De Silva
So glad he is recovering and back home. He was my first RD when I was a national officer in Colombo. On one of his visits he said he was going to give me greater work exposure. He sent me to New Delhi to work with the operations group on a short stint and the rest is history as I moved on to Internationalization.
Strong, firm leadership with loads of kindness. Stay well David.

Maria and I were deeply shocked and very concerned about this event. Sri Lanka - and all our colleagues and friends there - were so very influential on all our lives. There is a very interesting analysis on a Facebook page (something called Sri Lankan Food Lovers - spelled "Srilankan") which we have appreciated.
Tim: could you kindly tell all the staff - current and retired- about our concern for them. Thank you so very much.
Tom and all organisers: Thank you for putting this page together.

I fully agree with the discussion on myth-busting for unconditional cash transfers. However to my mind this blog mixes up UCTs - which are always targeted in some way, usually via a combination of geography (rural, drought-affected, etc) and social category (e.g. families with children/young children; older-age people; etc) - with the UBI, which by definition is not (unless it is, again, really a qualified, targeted universality). It's unnecessary to conflate UCTs and UBI to make the point that UCTs can be highly positive in their impacts across a range of social and econommic outcomes, including for children and families who are poor.
A key problem with UBIs, as distinct from targeted UCTs, is that they are a) only affordable at a level which would be at all meaningful in higher-income countries (which could include a few resource-rich 'developing' countries); and b) in most contexts, they would either sit unafforably alongside a large and complex web of existing social transfer programmes, or would need to substitute for them. And since many of these existing programmes - child benefits, disability allowances, school meals - tend to be weighted towards those who are less-well-off or more vulnerable, replacement UBIs would tend to create losers among these very groups. At the very least, there are many potential devils in the UBI details, depending on the various possible design assumptions. See:

This is Akram himself. I must have scared you all through a message from Aisha, our daughter. I am well and resting at home. It takes slow healing at my age of 84! I am learning! Thanks for sending all those goodwill messages. These are really helping and showing your genuine concerns. Difficult for me to respond individually as I would have wished. One day I would write to you all. For now cheers. Akram.

We had met while working in Latin America, many years ago.
She was a special person, appreciated and loved for her dedication, generosity and commitment to her work and children’s rights. She will be missed and remembered with fondness by all of us, colleagues and friends.
I would like to express my sincere condolences to her family who supported her in her courageous fight against the illness.

David was always available - and to drop in for a chat at the end of the day (adequately lubricated by his generosity) was a time for learning and good humor. He TOTALLY supported his staff yet in private questioned whatever we did, demanding good evidence and logic as how it would reach children most effectively. Of many recollections, two: 1) In INdonesia in 1974 he supported the UPGK (village nutrition program - a mere pilot) that expanded to the entire country with over 200,000 women volunteer weighing posts (Posyandu) that function still today as the backbone of the community health system. 2)He committed India to full immunisation in 1982 or 83 promising the needed vaccines and cold chain infrastructure to reach the entire country in spite of having no funds to do what he promised (immunisation levels were 10% or so then and 26 million kids were born each year!) He found the money! Others will write about his lifelong contribution of salt iodation and its impact. I best recall the pleasure of being invited to his home where with Lynn, he made newcomers relaxed and filled us with stories each of which amused yet carried great insights and wisdom. I miss them both and am so grateful for having been a small part of their productive lives.

Dear Editors,
The current format of “Flipsnack” is very convenient. Best of course when using it on a desktop, or at least on a device with a reasonable large screen. It makes the Newsletter very accessible and easy to read.
Hope that other readers also like it and start using it to post comments, remarks, etc. on the contributions.
Greetings,
Ronald van Dijk

So sorry to hear of Barbara’s passing so early in life. Her booming laugh still reverberates in my ear. She was a pleasant and caring person and was so much a part of DHR. May she be at peace. Condolences to her family. Rohini De Silva Rohini de silva https://www.blogger.com/profile/17576311520619781524 noreply@blogger.com
