Giving ‘thumka’ lessons, group hugs and more; Priyanka Chopra’s Zimbabwe trip as UNICEF’s Goodwill Ambassador was surely fruitful

Priyanka Chopra has been assigned the role of being UNICEF’s Goodwill Ambassador and she is taking her newfound responsibilities quite seriously. The diva flew down to Johannesburg and Zimbabwe to help raise awareness regarding violence against children as a part of the organisation’s campaign. She was present for a meet at a gala that took place over the weekend. Post this, PeeCee spent a day with the kids in an area prominently known as Safe Park. There, the diva got completely engrossed in chilling with the kids and learning more about their lifestyle. She was totally in awe of individuals who take care of the kids, and made it quite evident in her Insta post.
She explained how the kids were taken care of and more. “These workers connect with the children on a personal level, in their homes and in the park, and involve themselves in their daily life events like homework, household chores, and family issues. They use ordinary human interaction to feed these children teach them life skills and take care of the emotional needs of children -especially in child headed and parent less families. I’ve never seen so much commitment on such a personal level. I salute them,” her post read. Right after, the diva posted a video where she was surrounded by kids as they all did the ‘thumka.’

 The ‘thumkas’ were soon followed by more videos of her experience at Safe Park. The vice chairman of the park is actually an 11-year old called Mbali, who showed PeeCee around. She posted, “Mbali showed me around this amazing Safe Park that gives kids a chance to be kids in a safe environment. She is the Vice Chairman of her park (Freedom Park.) At all of 11! She takes her responsibilities very seriously. Thank u Mbali.” Her day with the kids ended with a big group hug. You can check out all the happenings of her trip right above!
