Ini Edo begins UN assignment
It was the day she carried out her first assignment as the Habitat Youth Envoy for United Nation. On that day her life literarily changed.
“I can’t believe what I’m seeing, I find it hard to believe this kind of place exists in Nigeria. My perception of life has changed” she told media men.
Her visit to LOTS Foundation office at the Dustbin Estate also coincided with her birthday and that explained the gifts packs, food and other items, she donated to the community leaders.
According to her publicists, Platform PR, “the essence of the visit went beyond celebrating, it also shows the other side of Ini asa humanitarian”.
Ini was appointed alongside two others (one Nollywood actor and one Bollywood actor) as
Ambassadors of the United Nation.
And part of her responsibilities according to www.unhabitat.org are to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
Speaking on her new role Ini said ‘being named a Special Youth Envoy for UN is one of the most interesting moments of my life, I know this Ambassadorial role is not going to be an easy task, but it is a call to responsibility. Beyond acting and making people happy on the screen, we need to learn to stretch our hands and touch people’s lives.
Presently working on her new movie; ‘I’ll Take my Chances’, it is giant strides all the way for Ini in 2011.
