The interest with which I have read his pages will I am sure be shared by all who have at heart the well-being of an Institution which occupies a unique place in English history, although happily there is not anything unique nowadays in the endeavour which the Magdalen Hospital makes in face of a gigantic evil. The story Mr. Compston tells gives abundant evidence of the change for the better in public opinion regarding this crying wrong and its remedy. It shows too the growth of a sounder judg- ment as to the methods of dealing with it. For every reason it is right that this book should have been written, and Mr.

  • Discover, Preserve, Explore, Celebrate
    Year in Review 2018 Discover, Preserve, Explore, Celebrate Message from Barbara Barnard Smith Executive Director Elena Brokaw It has been an exciting and eventful year for the Museum of Ventura County, and we are honored to share highlights of 2018 with you, our family of friends and supporters. This year marked the launch of our official five-year Reinvention Plan, designed to ensure the long-term sustainability and success of the MVC. The plan has six pillars: Accessible Collections Robust Partnerships Compelling Vision Sustainable Funding Relevant Programs Transparent Governance In each of these, the Museum has made significant progress – but we still have much more to achieve. In the following pages, you will see photos of diverse exhibits and programs, read about our progress on consolidating and conserving our collections, learn about plans to digitize our archives and hear about the lessons we learn as we work to collect and record monumental events in our County as they happen, such as the Thomas, Woolsey, and Hill fires and the Borderline tragedy. What we can’t include in these pages is the heart and soul of this Museum and its history: the individual people who have given, and continue to give, so generously to ensure that the Museum thrives. Every day, dozens of people work to provide the programs you will read about, to strategize on major initiatives, to research new methodologies and to build resources – all in order to make this 106-year-old institution thrive in service to its community. You, as a recipient of this annual report, are one of those people who are helping to ensure that this museum is here for another century.

  • UNICEF USA 2020 ANNUAL REPORT YEAR AFTER YEAR, UNICEF Has Been Relentless in Shaping a World That Is Equitable for Every Child
    UNICEF USA 2020 ANNUAL REPORT YEAR AFTER YEAR, UNICEF has been relentless in shaping a world that is equitable for every child. In 1946, that meant helping rebuild a war-torn Europe. This past year, it meant reaching billions of people with critical information and health services to combat an unprecedented global pandemic. In the middle of the world’s toughest challenges, UNICEF is there — more than 15,000 strong in over 190 countries and territories — helping children realize their rights. And we won’t stop until every child not only survives, but thrives. CONTENTS PRESIDENT’S LETTER 5 UNICEF IN ACTION 6 FINANCIALS 27 SUPPORTERS 34 OFFICES AND EXECUTIVE STAFF 47 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Like so many, Nadia, the 7-year-old pictured on the facing page, is coping with the broader challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her primary school in Bandung, Indonesia, closed in March 2020 because of the pandemic. In-person learning resumed months later, but classes meet only every other day, and students must wear a mask, have their temperatures checked daily, and stay physically distanced. It’s not perfect, but for students like Nadia, it’s a huge improvement over no school at all. While COVID-19 has so far spared children the worst outcomes, it has nonetheless had a devastating impact on children worldwide. It has slashed family incomes, shuttered schools, stalled progress on children’s rights, and disrupted in-person nutrition and vaccination programs. The pandemic is threatening children’s education, health and survival — particularly for those already in need. Yet several things give me great hope for 2021.

He was carried home, where he died next day.The surgeon and apothecary opined that cause of death was either skull fracture or neck fracture.
