US pop star Katy Perry teams up with UNICEF in Vietnam
VOV.VN -US singer and songwriter Katy Perry has teamed up with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to bring attention to the plight of disadvantaged children in Vietnam and assist them to get a good education.
"Education is the right of every child. It should be free and fair, with equal access for girls and boys," says Miss Perry.
“I am grateful to UNICEF for giving me the opportunity to see first-hand how its programmes make a real difference in children’s lives. Support for UNICEF is saving children. I am a witness to it.”
