UNICEF: Mia Farrow recieves medal
Award-winning actress, Mia Farrow, has devoted much time to humanitarian causes, particularly those supporting children. UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy announced Farrow's appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador on 27 September 2000, during the first Global Polio Partners Summit at the United Nations (UN) in New York. Farrow's association with UNICEF dates from December 1998, when she participated in a celebration at the UN in New York to mark the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In July 1999, she helped launch the UNICEF report The Progress of Nations 1999, which devoted a chapter to the fight against polio.
