UNICEF: Goodwill Ambassador Roger Federer
World tennis champion Roger Federer has been appointed UNICEF's newest international Goodwill Ambassador. UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman welcomed the 24-year-old player today at UNICEF's headquarters in New York. Mr. Federer is already considered one of the all-time greats of professional tennis. He is known for a combination of power and finesse in competition, and grace and honour outside the world of sport. "I believe all children deserve the chance to make something of their lives," he said. "This is the mission behind my foundation, which provides schooling and meals for poor children and promotes sports for children and youth worldwide." Mr. Federer said he shares UNICEF's belief about sport teaching important life lessons about respect, leadership and cooperation.
