Orlando Bloom: Named as UNICEF's goodwill ambassador

The prestigious organization UNICEF has named the famous Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom as its goodwill ambassador in recognition of his commitment to children's rights around the world.

Sources have thrown light on this news of Orlando Bloom. Bloom, highly acclaimed for his roles in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" films, has supported UNICEF's work since 2007, when he first visited schools in impoverished districts of Nepal.

On Monday UNICEF said that as its ambassador, Orlando Bloom plans to focus on raising awareness of the global organization and advocating for deprived children throughout the world.

Past ambassadors include Roger Moore, David Beckham, Audrey Hepburn, and Vanessa Redgrave.
