According to Showbiz Spy actor Orlando Bloom, 32, who has worked with UNICEF since 2007 was appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador today by the United Nations Children’s Fund in recognition of his work and commitment to the rights of children around the world.

The Executive Director of UNICEF, Ann M. Veneman, had the following to say in recognition of Bloom’s new title:

“Advocacy from UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors helps build momentum to improve the lives of children around the world. We are proud to have Orlando Bloom as one of the strong voices for vulnerable children.”

Bloom vows to learn more and support the organization anyway he can. He said:

“I look forward to working with UNICEF as they continue to make the world a better place for children. UNICEF doesn’t just deliver humanitarian aid, which is what they are known for all over the world. They also educate and provide tools which help women and children face challenges specific to their own lives. I responded to how UNICEF works as much as I did to the work itself. I look forward to learning more and to supporting UNICEF anyway I can.”

Bloom’s new position will require him to promote UNICEF’s work and influence global policy on behalf of children around the world.

No one said it better than Gandhi when he said “be the change you want to see in the world”. The Star Celeb extends our congratulations to Orlando Bloom on his new position and wishes him nothing but the best of luck.
