Henrikh Mkhitaryan to be appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for Armenia

Armenia international and Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for Armenia. The official ceremony will take place at the Football Academy on November 9.

For more than half a century Goodwill Ambassadors have been helping children and women all over the world to protect their rights and improve their lives.

By raising awareness about children’s issues and helping raise funds, famous persons send a clear message that children are the priority.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
