Happiness doesn’t result from what we get, but from what we give.
In 2014,The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the world’s largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger, appointed me as a Celebrity Partner. Needless to say I am beyond honoured, This association is very close to my heart as I have always believed strongly in giving back to society and sharing with others my blessings.
I have been closely associated with WFP’s efforts towards creating a world with zero hunger, by spreading the message to my thousands of viewers and well wishers across the world.
As part of her global responsibility with WFP, In 2015 I visited the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan for a hand-on understanding of the situation.
WFP is fighting hunger and providing food assistance to more than 90 million people in over 80 countries on average each year. I feel blessed to partner with WFP and make a difference in my small way.
