The Premise:

The event is mainly about the participation and donation because in game we have a CG highlighting the Refugee issue that War and other disasters create significant numbers of displaced, vunerable and needy people. Whatever you can give for these charities can help their lives, who knows, one day they might save yours.

We will be encouraging participants and spectators to donate to these two charities:

Peach, just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's accurate or uses logic.

Nothing that I saw skimming that article actually states that UNICEF is directly harming children's health. It's accusing UNICEF of claiming sole responsibility for the gradual increase in children's health around the world. It doesn't appear to present evidence that UNICEF's efforts aren't helping children's health, just that other things UNICEF doesn't directly control are also assisting the issue.

The main advances in combating disease over 200 years have been better food and clean drinking water. Improved sanitation, less overcrowded and better living conditions also contribute.

Because apparently UNICEF has nothing to do with raising awareness or bringing attention to children's health, assisting the efforts to increase sanitation in developing economies, or providing stability and shelter for doctors and specialists who want to work in those regions.

It's also worth noting that the main page of that website appears to be support the campaign against vaccinations.

Any commentary that says a news article says something, but fails to actually link to that story, makes me very sceptical. If this was actually covered by AP and considered to be fact, it would have been more widespread imho.

To each their own though.

Thanks Noxa, we came to similar conclusions, I have added an alternative too.

Alright, fair enough criticisms, but that is it no way the full extent of the problem or the only website mentioning this. I just grabbed that page because I didn't think you would want to read through an entire report straight from the source. I actually did a lot of research on this subject for a project a while ago, I've read through a lot of stuff and quite frankly it's extremely boring, but nonetheless here you go: https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/3228398/IA-GlPol72409.pdf?sequence=2

We will be adding Oxfam, to make sure people are free to choose.

Oxfam is a fairly decent choice. Far better than UNICEF, at least.

I'll be seeing you at the CG ;)

That report is about international adoption, not in general about children's health or UNICEF being responsible or even claiming responsibility for the global improvement in children's health.

Off topic discussion under the fold:

After another bit of skimming, I think I agree with the report's main argument, however, I also think UNICEF should be focusing international and government attention on stopping the abuses of every foster-care and adoption system. It's a fine line they have to walk, and it doesn't sound like they're doing it all that well. The main goal of their organisation appears to be to raise the standards and legal protections of these countries. Sadly, governmental over-reaction to reports of abuses of international adoption leads to them stopping international adoption rather than fixing the system. International adoption needs to remain an option, but no one wants to advocate the selling of babies.

And, yeah, Oxfam is good too.

PLease can you explain more about what teh event is and how people can participate . It needs to be very clear in the opening thread.

I've shared some information on https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteAntal/ and other power play pages plus face book. When you can give a bit more of a description I'll update the stuff I've shared and will contact some groups if I have time.

All the best and good luck

Is this linked to the SDC event, lasting for one week, in Kalana, entitled "Let's Pew"? Inquiring minds wish to know.

If not, you may want to rethink.

I, personally, wasnt aware of Smiling Dog Crew running a week long event. The event is for a few hours, for fun and for charity, 10pm GAMETIME Sunday 2nd October 3302, if SDC want to come along and take part in jumps and see if they can win then the more the merrier.

I have also update the top post to make it a bit more clear what the event is about in the OP.

If you wish to discuss further then drop me a PM on the forum or on the Discord: https://discord.me/imperialcommunitygoals

SDC is usually smart enough to not fall into the "Harassment reiteration" category, so I would expect them to stay with the CG only. Makes sense when they announced that it would last a week as well.
If they somehow drop in on the live stream I would throw this in their face and report them:

"In addition taking action such as seeking out and targeting specific players purely for the purpose of being disruptive, to cause offence, or to upset players within the community can also be considered harassment. A perfect example of this is deliberately attempting to disrupt public livestreams such as the charity ones mentioned before. This includes, but is not limited to, the capturing of footage and releasing it publically in an attempt to create upset or gain notoriety through the actions listed above."

And PeachSlices; if they "come along" they are not there to see if they can win any competition. Trust me.

There is a link to that article, however it's a biased as you can expect an article in "The Economist" to be.
It praises "the healing powers of free economics" and the "good the fashion industry did in the third world". It's so progressive, that it mentions microcredits and NGOs like Grameen (which I took as one model for my thesis in economics 15 years ago: the issue with 'fair trade' and how to push development in 3rd world countries trough cooperatives and micro credits) and how NGOs did "their little part" in improving the situation.

Large NGOs are as political as it gets, but at least they raise some awareness that our 5$ shirts and our 50$ shirts are produced on the backs of the weakest members of a globalized economy. They're not designed to provide huge or sustainable economic equality, just to firefight where the situation is really really bad.
