Storyline

Catherine Russell, Chief of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), joined Pope Francis and some 70,000 children, many from war torn countries, along with parents, local celebrities, and hundreds of UNICEF volunteers at Rome’s Olympic Stadium on Saturday (25 May).

During the event, promoted by Pope Francis and organized by the Holy See's Dicastery for Culture and Education, Russell urged children in the stadium and those watching around the world, to help create a more peaceful, equitable and livable world.

Russell’s visit coincided with marking five decades of advocacy and fundraising efforts by UNICEF’s National Committee in Italy this year.

Russell thanked the Government and the people of Italy for their longstanding support for UNICEF’s work on behalf of children around the world.
