"My
work
as
a
UNICEF

has
taken
me
to
many
parts
of
the
world
and
opened
my
eyes
to
the
many
vulnerabilities
of
children.
India
has
long
held
a
special
place
in
my
heart,
and
on
my
last
visit,
I
was
able
to
meet
with
The
Prince
of
Wales
and
other
leaders
in
Mumbai,
and
I
was
impressed
by
their
strong
plan
-
from
on-ground
initiatives
to
fundraising
-
that
will
aim
to
cut
child
trafficking
in
half."
