UNICEF's Change for Good Initiative

Working as a staff psychiatrist at the Lincoln Regional Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, Dr. Jasung Kim’s holistic and transpersonal approach to psychiatry includes using bibliotherapy, visualization techniques, and guided meditation. Outside of Dr. Jasung Kim’s professional life, he charitably supports the efforts of UNICEF.

Operating worldwide in 170 countries, UNICEF strives to protect the rights of children on a global scale. As a non-profit organization, much of UNICEF’s hard work depends on donations from the public. One of the organization’s initiatives is the Change for Good initiative, which allows people to donate unused foreign currency after a trip abroad.

Created in 1987, Change for Good is UNICEF’s longest-running partnership. Currently, 12 international airlines partner with UNICEF to make donations easier. In the United States, UNICEF has partnered with American Airlines so passengers on select international flights can easily donate any foreign currency they have left over in-flight. Alternately, you can mail UNICEF your donation directly to UNICEF USA, ATTN: Change for Good Program, 125 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038.

UNICEF's Voices of Youth

Dr. Jasung Kim is currently incorporating spirituality into his psychiatry practice through bibliotherapy, guided meditation, and visualization techniques. Outside of his work at Lincoln Regional Center in Nebraska, Dr. Jasung Kim supports UNICEF.

The international charitable organization UNICEF seeks to defend the rights of children around the world. The nonprofit was founded in 1946 to provide nondiscriminatory aid to children after the devastation of World War II.

Today, UNICEF encourages young people to stay involved in world issues through its blog, Voices of Youth. This website provides a platform for young adults around the world to blog about issues that are important to them, provoke discussion, and encourage participation in initiatives and aid efforts.

Voices of Youth covers heavy political topics such as the current refugee crisis and environmental efforts. The blog also features more personal subjects like how to overcome underachievement.

Everyone is welcome to blog. Additionally, internships are available for young people who wish to pursue blogging as more than just a hobby. Read the thoughts of people from around the world at voicesofyouth.org.
