February 2007 - Deborah Morris-Travers
February was spent preparing for our large event at parliament, the Every Child Counts Celebration of Children. The preparations involved securing sponsorship, arranging entertainment, identifying the logistical aspects of the day and managing them, ensuring the participation of as many children and Members of Parliament as possible, developing media material and undertaking media liaison.
While this event was a key focus for the month Every Child Counts also had its Project Team and Steering Group meeting to make plans for the year. I was working on a Fundraising Case Document and communications plan which required input from the team, and in anticipation of the meeting there were briefing papers to prepare.
On 15 February, the UNICEF Innocenti Report was released, with data on the wellbeing of NZ Children in it. Every Child Counts issued a media statement commenting on the report and I undertook media interviews on this and other issues.
