Unicef
David Beckham joined the UNICEF team in January 2005 to help pack educational and medical supplies for shipment to children affected by the tsunami. In his first appearance as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, Mr Beckham visited UNICEF’s Supply Division in Copenhagen, Denmark, which is working seven days a week to dispatch items needed for children’s immediate survival and recovery from trauma. He also recorded a video message urging public support for UNICEF’s response to the disaster in Asia, which left 150,000 dead and thousands of children orphaned. David Beckham said: “I, like any other person was deeply moved by the effects of the Tsunami disaster. So many people have lost loved ones and particularly children have suffered greatly with over a million who are vulnerable and at risk of disease. People have been so generous to date and it is important that they continue to donate money to organisations such as UNICEF to help in aid relief and reconstruction. It is one of the proudest moments of my life to be given the role of UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and I hope to play a part in supporting these children at their time of need.” Beckham joins a number of high-profile UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, including Harry Belafonte, Sir Roger Moore, Mia Farrow, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Robbie Williams and Ewan McGregor all of whom continue to give up their time and energy to raise funds and awareness on behalf of the world’s children. |
