Who's Looking After the Kids?
A 3- and a 4-year-old introduce a child's-eye view of life.
A few of us are lucky -we go to good nurseries But it's not such a happy story for the rest. Every day millions of parents and children are suffering because of the shortage of nursery centres. They don't share our happiness and peace of mind.
There are three million of us under 5. Why does the government ignore our needs?

CIIILDCARE CAMPAIGN with the help of the COMMUNITY PROGRAMME UNIT

In the hills of Nepal a tragedy is in the making. Increased human pressures on the land have shattered the delicate balance between man and nature, and a way of life is under threat. There is still a faint ray of hope, and it may yet be possible to arrest the crumbling of the Himalayas and avert disaster. This moving programme won the 1983 Audubon Environmental Award for the best film in conservation and ecology.

Six films of early exploration Introduced from the Royal Geographical Society by the pioneer polar explorer Duncan Carse.
4: Red Indian Shadow Catcher (1896-1930)
* The most spectacular ritual of the Hopi Indians is their Snake Dance, employing live rattle snakes, and I became obsessed with the idea of participating ... I followed the dancer four times around the plaza, cast my snake aside, and received the next snake for a continuation of the dance ...' So the pioneer American photographer, anthropologist and explorer Edward Curtis describes one of the most dangerous incidents in his life's work of chronicling the vanishing customs and ways of life of the American Indian. Altogether Curtis recorded the lives of some eight tribes, took 40,000 photographs (' shadow catcher' is the Indian name for photographer) and several miles of motion pictures.

Liv Ullniunn has never forgotten her stage debut in 1956 as Anne Frank-who wrote in her famous diary ' I believe that deep down all human beings are good.' These words became Liv's motto until, three years ago, a starving little boy in Somalia opened her eyes to a different world and shattered her idealism. In the wake of UNICEF World Children's Week, their first female goodwill ambassador describes her change of heart.
