Serena is appointed as UNICEF goodwill ambassador!
"UNICEF said Williams, who has won 13 grand slam titles, would use her popularity to promote UNICEF's Schools for Africa programme and the upcoming Schools for Asia initiatives which aim to provide schooling for particularly vulnerable children.
"I believe all children deserve the chance to make something of their lives," Williams said in a statement.
"I am committed to helping UNICEF provide a quality education to children to help them build a brighter future for themselves, their families, and their communities."
The American joins a famous list of past and present UNICEF ambassadors that includes Audrey Hepburn, Mia Farrow, David Beckham and Shakira."

Well, Christina L., this should be your discussion, but I wanted to bring this up for discussion. Anyone?

What timing! I think Serena has the best Public Relations Agent that money can buy.

Well, Serena has already funded schools in Africa from what I understand. So I think that UNICEF looked at that and said why not make her the goodwill ambassador. I wouldn't know if a PR thing influenced the decision though.

I have to agree with the Mayor on this one. With the things she has done lately, she needs this to come back into good light with many people.

Well, yeah, Mark. I think I would go one further and say, her reputation is already damaged beyond repair. People will always pair the images of her outbursts to her accomplishments, rather than the UNICEF association erasing such thoughts. Maybe I'm wrong, I can never tell what people may think ten years down the road.
