Yuna于2010年开始担任联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF)的亲善大使,呼吁大家关注和保护全世界儿童的利益,并多次向UNICEF捐款。儿童节将至,继5月15日呼吁大家关注、支持叙利亚儿童后,Yuna又号召大家关心和帮助残疾儿童:
Yuna Kim, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
“As a child, I dreamt of becoming the World Figure Skating Champion …
That dream came true at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010
I worked really hard. I was committed and dedicated to my ambition
Most importantly I had support…support from my family, my friends, my country…support from all of you
But there are millions of children who don’t have these opportunities …
Children with disabilities are discriminated against,
Singled out…weakened…not strengthened
These are children who have dreams just like you and me…
They are passionate, they have the courage …they can be leaders
They’re trying so hard to overcome their challenges…
But there aren’t enough voices cheering them on
Let’s help them build the way
Support children with disabilities; make them a part of your life.
Give them a voice, support their dreams, fight for them, stand with them…
And demand their rights”
