Jelena Jankovic, UNICEF National Ambassador for Serbia, attended UNICEF “Champions for Children” reception on 9 August to advocate for the most vulnerable children in China, including those affected by the Sichuan earthquake and by HIV/AIDS, and to express appreciation for the support of partners, supporters, and friends.

There were present high-level representatives of the Government of China, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors Jackie Chan, Lang Lang, many Chinese celebrities and other friends and supporters of UNICEF.

Jelena and 14-year-old junior tennis player Liu Yingchong jointly introduced a television campaign produced by UNICEF and the All-China Women’s Federation as part of a campaign to advocate for equal opportunities for girls.

“UNICEF supports programmes in China to help change attitudes that discriminate against girls and in doing so, helps girls realize their dreams,” Jankovic said.
