Once a year, UNICEF UK invites schools to take part in a 'Day for Change', when education and fundraising go hand-in-hand.

Day for Change usually takes place in February and focuses on different countries and development issues each year.

Day for Change 2009 focuses on health and well-being in Papua New Guinea and you can still join in, so find out more!

If you would like to hold a Day for Change in 2009, register online, call on 0870 606 3377 or send an email.

If you register, we will send you a FREE pack of background information, colourful photos and teaching activities. The pack contains a CD-ROM with PowerPoint presentations, photos and activities.
