UNICEF celebrate World Children`s Day |
Emmy-nominated actress Millie Bobby Brown is UNICEF`s newest and youngest-ever (14 years) Goodwill Ambassador. On 20 November World Children`s Day, the British star of `Stranger Things` said she will help raise awareness of children`s rights and issues affecting youth, such as lack of education, safe places to play and learn, and the impact of violence, bullying and poverty. Brown said it`s a dream come true to join such an impressive list of people including David Beckham, Orlando Bloom, Jackie Chan, Priyanka Chopra, Danny Glover, Ricky Martin, Leo Messi, Liam Neeson, Shakira and Lilly Singh. World Children`s Day is a global day of action `for children, by children` to also raise funds for the millions of children that are unschooled, unprotected and uprooted. UNICEF is inviting the public to go online and sign a global petition asking leaders to commit to fulfilling the rights of every child now and for future generations, so that every child is in school, safe from harm and can fulfil their potential. Iconic landmarks will light up blue on 20th November, including Sydney Opera House in Australia, Beijing National Aquatics Center, Water Cube in China, Petra in Jordan, Rashtrapati Bhawan in India, and The Empire State Building in the United States of America. UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Sachin Tendulkar played a game of unified football with children.
