UNICEF Goodwill
Ambassador Priyanka Chopra has called for increased awareness and support for
child victims of war and violence. The actress made an emotional visit to
Amman, Jordan one of the most liberal and westernized Arab cities. The actress
has been taking time out from her busy work schedule and spending quality time
with kids.
Wars are one of
the most hazardous threats created by humans and often many innocent people
suffer cause of it. Chopra who happens to interact with the kids shared her
feelings via her insta posts. The actress got emotional while teaching those
kids in class and posted a series of comments mostly highlighting the need to
safeguard future of these kids and measures to be taken by the Government.
She added the
first post where she is teaching the kids. She captioned it " Cultures
are so lovely.so different yet so similar. Kalam is arabic for pen and it's
kalam in Urdu/Hindi too. We found that funny. Since the kids were learning
English I thought Pencil may be appropriate... #MissionForChildren
#ChildrenUprooted #PCInJordan #ChildrenOfSyria @unicef."
She further
added an adorable picture posing with the kids with the caption: " A
class full of future doctors, engineers, police officers, teachers. What breaks
my heart is they can't even access proper schools as refugee kids... how will
they access higher education?? These hopes and dreams.. where do they stand in
the reality of their world? The government schools in Jordan have added evening
classes and 200 schools to accommodate the growing number of Syrian children
which is approximately 120000 children..But it's never enough. The world needs
to help. We need to help. #MissionForChildren #ChildrenUprooted #PCInJordan
#ChildrenOfSyria @unicef."
The actress was
so deeply impacted after spending time with kids that she got all emotional. On
her way back, she added a small video where she has shown her anger and deep
sadness towards humanity. She speaks in favor of those innocent kids and posted
it on her Insta account. She added the caption" I have never done
this when I do field trips, but on this one I feel compelled to reflect on what
I feel after every session because I felt a lot. The anger and agony I felt
seeing these beautiful hopeful children ravaged by war was so raw. The world
has seen the pain war has left in Syria but the resilience and joy and hope in
spite of it is so inspiring to me. These kids are my inspiration. They should
be yours too. PLS GO TO www.unicef.org and DONATE whatever you
can... let's make this a collective #MissionForChildren #ChildrenUprooted
#PCInJordan #ChildrenOfSyria @unicef."
PeeCee has been
one of the celebs who has worked towards the upliftment of children. She has
rightfully raised her concern about the kids, about their future and has
targeted her questions towards the authority who happens to be doing not enough
for such kids.
