After being the spokesperson for their Trick-or-Treat campaign last October, Selena Gomez has now been officially appointed the youngest Ambassador for UNICEF!
What an honor!
Selenita says of her new charitable role:
“Every day 25,000 children die from preventable causes. I stand with UNICEF in the belief that we can change that number from 25,000 to zero. I know we can achieve this because every moment, UNICEF is on the ground providing children with the lifesaving assistance needed to ensure zero becomes a reality.”
The Wizards of Waverly Place actress is heading off to Ghana this week on her first official field-mission as an Ambassador.
Caryl Stern, President and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, is happy with their choice, stating:
“We’re very pleased to have Selena join the UNICEF family, as a long time supporter, she will continue to capture and engage and audience of millions of young people to help ensure the health, education, equality and protection of every child.”
And this is why she is one of our absolute favorite Disney stars!
Good for you, bb!
You’re a real pole role model!
