Three months ago the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) launched a letter writing competition to promote its campaign for global literacy.

Over 80,000 letters were received and dispatched to a diverse judging panel.Judges soon discovered that many of these letters were not mere views or experiences, but revelations of life's prevalent issues, penned by anxious children in their quest to get answers from the World Government.
