unicef: UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Danny Kaye playfully pulls the hair of a girl seated in front of him, in a classroom filled with laughing children, during a visit to his primary-school alma mater, Public School 149 in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City.  In 1954 in the United States of America, American actor, comedian and entertainer Danny Kaye was appointed UNICEF’s first Goodwill Ambassador by UNICEF Executive Director Maurice Pate. In his new role, Mr. Kaye campaigned continuously for UNICEF causes and travelled the globe raising awareness of the situation of children, particularly in the developing world. He continued this work until his death in 1987, creating the standard for all subsequent UNICEF (and other UN) Goodwill Ambassadors. © UNICEF/NYHQ1954-0001/Photographer Unknown
