Description

Yvonne's face glows with youthful hope and optimism. She appears to be looking into the future.
This simple, yet powerful, photograph was an important element in a worldwide campaign to improve child health. Yvonne's image was used in the historic Universal Child Immunization program, led by UNICEF and other agencies, to immunize 80 percent of the world's children against polio, measles, tuberculosis, whooping cough, diphtheria, and tetanus. Yvonne became the face of that campaign, and her image was featured on billboards around the world.
