UNICEF: Roger Federer to speak out on World AIDS Day
NEW YORK, USA, 26 November 2007 — Roger Federer, the Association of Tennis Professionals world number-one tennis player and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, took a break from his whirlwind schedule of tournaments, grand slams and public appearances to record a video message raising awareness about HIV and AIDS.
The public service announcement supports the Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS campaign, launched by UNICEF and UNAIDS to draw attention to the impact of the disease on children and young people. Since the campaign launched in 2005, several countries have begun local initiatives of their own, engaging thousands in the struggle.
