Mexican actress and singer Thalía was appointed yesterday as UNICEF National Ambassador.
“I am thrilled to become a UNICEF Mexico National Ambassador and to continue to use my voice to promote children’s rights,” Thalía said at the appointment ceremony in New York.
“We live in an unequal world where millions of children are suffering and dying unnecessarily. UNICEF knows how to put the most vulnerable children first and we all can help, whether by donating to UNICEF, starting conversations with family and friends or educating those around us about how to address unfairness in the world.” she added.
The award-winning artist first teamed up with UNICEF Mexico in 2014 using her talent and fame to raise resources and advocate for children’s rights to health, education, equality and protection.
“Thalía has been doing a tremendous job mobilizing millions of people as agents of change and helping us spread the message that we are the first generation that can end global poverty and disparities,” said Isabel Crowley, UNICEF Representative in Mexico.
