I look forward to working with UNICEF as they continue to make the world a better place for children.

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.

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.

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

Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

It is imperative to change the way we look at education. We should invest in the foundation of school readiness from birth to age 5.

If we expect our children to thrive at our colleges and universities, and succeed in our economy once they graduate - first we must make quality, affordable early childhood education accessible to all.

The number one way that we can address these long-term challenges of poverty, of education, is to invest in early childhood education.

It is difficult to think of anything more important than providing the best education possible for our children. They will develop the next technologies, medical cures, and global industries, while mitigating their unintended effects, or they will fail to do these things and consign us all to oblivion.

There are so many people around the world in need of high-quality education and really starving for education.
