Lucy Liu and UNICEF
In 2005, Actress Lucy Liu was appointed a U.S. Fund for UNICEF Ambassador and has since traveled to Pakistan, Lesotho, and the Democratic Republic of Congo among other countries to support UNICEF's HIV/AIDS awareness and education programs.
"I've witnessed the total devastation of HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. I've met too many brave and beautiful children who are struggling to care for their sick parents or their orphaned brothers and sisters. Many children infected with HIV will not live to see their fifth birthday. Children suffer not only from this virus but also the stigma, poverty and destruction that accompany it."
