UNICEF: Nancy Ajram named new Goodwill Ambassador

BEIRUT, Lebanon, 23 October 2009 UNICEFs Regional Office for the Middle East and North Africa has named Lebanese star Nancy Ajram as Regional Goodwill Ambassador.

We are delighted to welcome Nancy Ajram to UNICEF, said Sigrid Kaag, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa. Goodwill ambassadors help focus the worlds attention on the needs of children and can act as agents of change.

Ms. Ajram has been singing from an early age and her fame and appeal now span the Middle East and North Africa region and beyond. She has also been a dedicated supporter of childrens issues in her native Lebanon.

Ms. Ajram will help raise the profile of childrens issues particularly in relation to early childhood development, protection from harm and young peoples participation.

I have always been passionate about UNICEF's work. It is an honour for me to be given this opportunity to contribute to this work for children, Ms. Ajram said. "As a young mother with a small child myself, I relate even more to children and to mothers of the region."
