5 years after winning the Miss Universe pageant and a career in Bollywood, Lara Dutta gladly accepted the offer made to her for lending her voice for a good cause. Nick, the TV channel for kids, has joined forces with the United Nations for the Millennium Development Campaign titled NICK 2015.
Internationally, leading broadcasters like MTV Italy, Nickelodeon, BBC, TV5 and Television Espanola have all responded to the UN's appeal and have pledged their commitment to support the Millennium Campaign.
On behalf of Nick in India, Lara Dutta will lend her voice to a child-friendly campaign to go on-air towards the end of June and address issues like Poverty, Education, Equality, Disease, Environment and Child Mortality.
Speaking about her involvement with the campaign, Lara Dutta said, "My association with United Nations goes back to the Miss Universe pageant. This campaign will gives me an opportunity to voice my opinion and help kids understand the global issues of poverty, education, equality and environment because in 2015 they will be the adults of the world and some of them will be world leaders. Together we can all make a huge difference to the lives of millions."
