ling Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Good for her. I am obviously all about empowering women. I donate to several organizations for similar causes. I'm not sure what the UN Goodwill Ambassador program does, but I'm a really big fan of UNICEF, which is one of the best organizations in terms of access to countries, resources and a low operating cost (especially compared to rather crap organizations like World Vision). I hope this program follows some of the same directives. Link to post Share on other sites
Emma_Rules Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Angelina Jolie was a UN Goodwill Ambassador for several years or more, she also supports UNICEF, as did another favorite actress of mine, the beautiful old-Hollywood star, Audrey Hepburn. Audrey spent the last few years of her life, traveling third-world impoverished countries, supporting UNICEF and UN programs. i commend Emma in supporting this cause.

I hope this program follows some of the same directives.I agree on that ! I'm glad she has this opportunity, and with what she's done in the past, i believe she can be great in this role. What do you think she'll have to do ? Pomote their work and ideas ? Travel to show woman's living conditions in other countries ? Link to post Share on other sites
