There are a huge numbers of supporters, including universities, mayors, hospitals, the media, the government, and many more. There are several ways people support UNICEF in Italy. Some make a donation, and other join the “Amici dell’UNICEF” where they send money every month. A couple buy UNICEF items, such as greeting cards, and a few even buy a “Pigotta,” which is a doll where all the money used to purchase these goes to help vaccinate a kid, and this left a foundation for kids. Anybody who want to give up their time for UNICEF in Italy can call or email the closest Subcommittee. These people range from young ages to old ages. They are a great asset for UNICEF’s campaigns and they can quickly and easily spread what UNICEF is trying to get accomplished to everyone around them.
