Daphna Edwards Ziman is committed to positively impacting the lives of at-risk and foster children. Toward that end, she founded and now chairs Children Uniting Nations through which she pioneered the L.A. County Mentoring Model, which presents a viable solution to the challenges facing children in foster care and a pilot program for national replication. In addition, Ziman has been an integral part in the founding of homeless missions and a school in East Los Angeles for gang members.
Speaking about the organization's biggest event, Ziman said, "Children Uniting Nation's (CUN) Day of the Child is the biggest mentoring event in the country. It is such an important day for the thousands of voiceless foster and at risk youth that we serve. Day of the Child provides these children with a day filled with caring adults, rides, games, live entertainment and needed school supplies. This is also an amazing occasion to show our community that the dedication of a little time to become a mentor can save the lives of children that would otherwise be sentenced to a life drugs, failure and crime."
