The Daruma Doll
This giant 'Daruma'
doll was given to former UNICEF Executive Director James Grant on 8
October, 1991 by the Japanese Delegation at the Opening of the
Exhibition on the Achievement of Universal Childhood Immunization.
As good luck charms, Daruma dolls feature one eye painted black to
signify the beginning of a goal/process. The other eye is blackened
when the goal is achieved. The Japanese writing on the back wishes
UNICEF the best of luck for universal polio eradication, and when
achieved,
then a potential ceremony with the current Executive Director and
Japanese Ambassador to blacken the blank eye can take place.
