Actress America Ferrera Joins Save the Children to Promote Global Education
Emmy- and Golden Globe-Award winning actress America Ferrera, star of ABC Television's popular series Ugly Betty, is Save the Children's newest Artist Ambassador. In her new role with the global humanitarian organization, Ferrera will help champion the importance of education for children in marginalized communities in developing countries and the United States. "I couldn't be more excited to support Save the Children in its effort to educate children around the world. When a child learns, the entire community benefits," said actress America Ferrera. "It's horrifying to think about the 72 million children who are not in school and may never have the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe environment. I believe that our world can become a much more productive and peaceful place when every child is given the opportunity to attend school." "I feel so grateful for my own education, and I look forward to doing more to help Save the Children spread its message to as many communities around the world as possible," added Ferrera. Some 72 million of the developing world's children - more than half girls - do not go to school, according to UNESCO. About 37 million of these children live in countries in armed conflict.
