Harlem School Kids Get Lesson in Service from Ambassador Rice

In a project focused on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice paid a visit to the Harlem Children's Zone to introduce students to the work of the United Nations. "Young people in this country have a great generosity and a great capacity - even when they have tough times themselves - to understand and be interested in the circumstances of kids in other parts of the world," Ambassador Rice told the 120 students at the charter school famous for turning out high-achieving students from low-income, minority families. As this CNN report by U.N. correspondent Richard Roth shows, Ms. Rice brought along staff from UNICEF to demonstrate the types of humanitarian aid the agency provides, such as food supplements and capsules to make water drinkable. Later, the children were asked to choose what items to include in packages that would be sent to Congo. Take a look:
