After her glamorous debut at Cannes Film Festival in southern France, model-turned-actress Priyanka Chopra-Jonas is off to Ethiopia for a United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) function.
The actress took to Instagram stories to post special message for her fans about her trip.
In a video posted as an Instagram story, she said, “Hi everyone! I am on a very special trip. I’ve just touched down on Ethiopia and it’s raining. We are in Addis Ababa right now. Apparently, it’s the first day of rain here. So I feel good about that. But it’s an extremely special trip. I hope that you all will come on this journey with me. I’m in Ethiopia for a specific reason. I want to highlight UNICEF’s education programme when it comes to children and youth. There’s a huge barrier when it comes to access to education for children because there are so many dropouts which begin as soon as kids start school. The primary education goes from Standard 1 to Standard 8 and secondary education is after that. We see dropouts from Std 1.”
