She started her note with a quote by American memoirist, Maya Angelou that read, “I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people (sic)." Her note can be further read, "Every trip I make with UNICEF reinforces my faith in the goodness of humanity. I have met so many heroes in the past few days they are the men and women of @unicef, the volunteers, partners, and everyone who has come together in this time of need. I am consistently awestruck by their commitment, persistence, dedication, compassion, and ingenuity even to help those who need it the most (sic)."
Further adding, "The Ukraine crisis began in February, and Team UNICEF responded immediately, mobilizing their resources to set up operations within weeks to assist refugees coming into Poland, Romania, Moldova, and other countries in the region. At the start of the conflict, there was no UNICEF office in Poland, but in a very short time, UNICEF staff from all over the world came in, some with just a day’s notice, to Poland to get the wheels in motion. In the words of UNICEF’s Country Coordinator (Poland) “We were building the plane as we were flying it.” - Rashed Mustafa. Leveraging their vast experience from other emergencies, @unicef mobilized its team to meet the immediate requirements of the large inflow of refugees, especially women and children (sic)."PeeCee's note concluded with, "As I’ve said before, the war in Ukraine has led to one of the fastest-growing displacement crises on record and has devastated Ukraine’s families. UNICEF and partners are on the ground providing the best possible support in times like these. UNICEF is working with the local municipalities, including the city of Warsaw, to ensure the learning, development, psychosocial, emotional, and day-to-day living needs are taken of. They have partnered with @refugees for the Blue Dot Centres, Fundacja Rozwoju Dzeci (Comenius Foundation for Child Development) for the ECD center, and Nezlamna Ukraina (Unbreakable Ukraine) for the Summer camp and continued education as per the Ukrainian curriculum in Ukrainian (sic)."
Taking to the comment section, she wrote, "Words cannot do justice to the critical, lifesaving work of each individual from UNICEF and their partners and volunteers, but I hope in some way to shine a light on their efforts (sic)."
