Priyanka Chopra is getting
more and more involved in issues that matter. Earlier this year,
she signed on as the ambassador for a Greenathon cause, to conserve
our environment. Now she has joined the Save the Children campaign.
PC talks about the cause,
"Save the Children works by reaching out to the most marginalised and underprivileged
children in our society and ensures that they gets access to quality -
and more importantly - relevant education. When I heard about their new
campaign called Every One to prevent children dying needlessly, I was happy
to lend my support.
India has the highest number
of children under five dying every year, nearly two million. 4.33 lakh
newborns die within first 24 hours of life annually. This is a global five-year
campaign to get world governments back on track in reducing child mortality
by two-thirds by 2015."
No blame game
Chopra continues, "Every
one of us has a role to play. There's no point blaming the government or
policy makers for the lack of progress. I believe there are several simple
solutions that can go a long way to preventing children dying needlessly.
Like for example, breastfeeding for the first six months. The sad thing
is that we are not aware that there are low-cost solutions. I would use
my public profile to raise awareness of these issues. I will try to generate
mass public support for this campaign. I will also raise funds for this
very critical cause. |
