Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)


WOW!!!...i can only dream to be such a person...JACKIE CHAN

As Goodwill Ambassador, Chan is committed to supporting efforts to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and ending the stigma and discrimination surrounding this global scourge, whose impact falls heavily on children. He also raises awareness about the destruction wrought by landmines and about other issues affecting children, including avian influenza.

During 2004 he made his first field trip to Cambodia, where he visited HIV/AIDS and landmine rehabilitation and awareness projects supported by UNICEF. In Siem Reap, home to the fabled Angkor War temple complex, he witnessed the horrific legacy of hidden landmines that continue to pose a daily threat to Cambodian children and their communities. Chan also met with children and young people whose lives have been affected by HIV/AIDS.

Chan made a first-ever visit to Viet Nam with UNICEF to communicate a strong message on the importance of showing compassion and empathy to children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. He travelled to a province with the highest HIV prevalence rate in the country, where he sat and talked with children and their families, who regularly gather at an ‘empathy’ support club. He also toured an antenatal clinic that provides counseling, testing and information on the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

a true hero indeed....*im in love.....*...with his capability..not him~!!!
