UNICEF: Jackie Chan co-stars in avian flu awareness PSA

HONG KONG, China, 15 August 2006 -- The children could barely contain their excitement. On the eve of filming a new public service announcement on avian influenza with UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Jackie Chan, the six girls and boys cast in the spot were planning what they would say to the martial arts icon and world-famous movie star: "My name is... I come from... I like swimming and playing football..."

The avian flu PSA -- produced by UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the Government of Japan -- aims to show that specific actions can have a strong impact on protecting children from the virus.

The girl who says 'But playing with paper birds is fine' goes to my school. And the Indian girl was my classmate and friend in the 2nd grade. It was a real eye opener.
