Around Indianapolis, 4,300 children are working with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to benefit their peers around the world, and yesterday, Pacers head coach Frank Vogel and forward Solomon Hill paid some of them a visit.
Vogel and Hill spent the afternoon at Charles Warren Fairbanks School 105, an Indianapolis Public Schools elementary, where for the last three weeks, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders have been participating in UNICEF's Kid Power program.
UNICEF Kid Power encourages children to be active in their daily lives. Each participant wears a band that tracks their daily movement. Enough steps unlocks a point, and for every 10 points their team unlocks, UNICEF delivers a lifesaving packet of therapeutic food to malnourished children across the globe.
