A legacy or bequest is a gift of cash or assets left in a Will to family, friends, designated organisations and/or charities. A legacy or bequest left to UNICEF is a wonderful way for you to express your concern and desire to help the millions of children still living without proper nutrition, housing, education, health care or work and life skills to earn a living. Your legacy to future generations can be helping these disadvantaged children.
A legacy or bequest can be a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate or items from an estate. Your legal advisor or Trust company can draft or amend your Will for you.
"When someone became a friend of Kora's they also became involved with UNICEF"
The KORA LANG Society has been formed to recognise those supporters who have left a bequest to UNICEF NZ. Sharing this common interest, members of the Society will meet for regular luncheons and enjoy listening to a variety of speakers. Topics will be wide ranging according to the tastes of members.
We have chosen to name our new bequest society in honour of Kora because she was a tireless worker over many years for UNICEF in New Zealand. She was a much loved music teacher in Kapiti who inspired her pupils, friends and all who came in contact with her to organise concerts, dinners and dances to raise much needed funding to support the children of the world. We believe naming this new society as a tribute to the wonderful work of this amazing lady allows us to celebrate her contribution now and well into the future.
The first luncheon will be held at the Harbour View restaurant in the Michael Fowler Centre. Ali Mau, well known journalist and an ambassador for UNICEF, will address the gathering about her trip to Papua New Guinea. For more information phone John on 0800 243 575 or e-mail john@unicef.org.nz
Leaving a bequest to this foundation will ensure your contribution is preserved, and the continuing interest from the fund will be used to support programmes for children. These programmes include the provision of supplies in emergencies, educational support (schools, teacher training, books), child protection (from trafficking, sexual exploitation, HIV/AIDS) and health services (immunisation, sanitation, nutrition, medical care).
Alternatively, you may prefer to make a one-off gift with the total sum going immediately to the children.
UNICEF New Zealand welcome inquiries about our legacy programme and the opportunity to discuss any particular area of interest you may have. If you would like a UNICEF representative to come and talk to you about our organisation please feel free to phone John on 0800 243 575 or e-mail john@unicef.org.nz
