Selena Gomez Wants Green for Ghana

Posted on October 8, 2009 - 11:44am by jaclyn Selena Gomez may be a teenager, but don't mistake this Disney starlet's ability to impact more than the many fans that follow her movies, television show Wizards of Waverly Place as well as her musical act as a rock singer.

The world may not know it yet but Selena Gomez is a TOTAL star who also wants to use her fame for great causes to impact the globe too.



Yes, Selena Gomez can now add philanthropist to her resume of diverse talents. According to Ecorazzi.com , "Selena is the youngest UNICEF Ambassador in history. In September she spent some time in Ghana, West Africa where she witnessed poverty on a whole new level."



This very trip inspired Selena to help UNICEF raise funds, $1,000,000 to be exact, which she would like the foundation to have so it may help Ghana prevent children from dying due to illnesses that could have been avoided. We hope the world will get behind this goal and support Selena Gomez and UNICEF.

UNICEF stands for the United Nations Children's Fund and is based upon focus areas which include child survival and development, HIV/AIDS and child protection.



In addition to her work with UNICEF, Selena has participated in some green initiatives on as well. From recycling to gardening to her fundraising work for great causes, Selena Gomez sets such a great example of giving back and going green!!
