CHARLOTTE AND UNICEF

Since the early 1990’s, Charlotte has been a Special Representative of UNICEF Canada and an Honorary Chairperson of the Halloween Campaign for her home province of British Columbia.

Charlotte Diamond has been awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Commemorative Medal in recognition of her exemplary support of UNICEF since 1994.  This medal is awarded to those persons who have made a significant contribution to Canada, to their community or to their fellow Canadians.

Several of her songs have been published in the UNICEF magazines, "SPLASH" or "PLOUF", offered to schools, for example, "Each of us is a Flower" (Nous sommes tous comme les fleurs) and "Tout ce que je veux – la paix" (All I Really Want is Peace).

For 1999, her new song, "My School is the World" (Mon école est le monde) appears in "Splash" and "Plouf" magazine in support of the theme that every child has a right to an education. 

Charlotte's new song, "Leave the World a Little Better" was chosen to be included in "Splash" magazine 2000. Click here to listen to this song.

"Music crosses international borders and brings us closer together. Our children are our future and every child has the right to fulfill his/her dreams." C.D.

In 1996, Charlotte was invited by the First Lady of Costa Rica and UNICEF to visit that country, to present concerts in San Jose and to work with school children in the province of Puriscal. UNICEF has been sponsoring educational programs in 22 schools in that area. Charlotte produced a documentary video of this trip which is available through UNICEF Canada.

"Introducing my songs in Spanish and learning from the children about their education was one of the most inspiring experiences I have had as a teacher and singer. UNICEF does wonderful and necessary work throughout our world. Every child has rights. We must all strive to maintain and develop those rights" C.D.
