New Delhi: Global star Priyanka Chopra, who is an ambassador of UNICEF goodwill, has shared a small video of her journey in Poland, where she met the Ukrainian refugees. The actor spend quality time with women and kids, listening to their experiences about their families who couldn’t join them in Poland and she got emotional.
Sharing a video on Instagram, she wrote, “The invisible wounds of war are the ones we don’t usually see on the news. Yet, they were so evident to me today as started day 1 of my @unicef mission in Warsaw. 2/3 of Children from Ukraine have been displaced (internally and externally). This HUGE number is the devastating reality of a war where 90% of the people crossing the border are women and children. 70% of those who have fled, crossed the border into Poland, and large government supported Reception Centres have been set up to make the transition as easy as possible.”
“@unicef responded to this emergency by setting up Blue Dot Centres in 11 locations across Poland and 37 across the region together with @refugees. The Blue Dot Centers play a very necessary role, and in many ways are a rare safe haven for women and especially the children. They offer so much…. Access to important, relevant information, mental health support, providing mother and baby areas to allow them much needed privacy, and play areas, which are so critical for kids who come from conflict situations to be able to feel a sense of normalcy. It is predominantly staffed by Ukrainians including many who have also fled the war themselves,” she added.
In the video, Priyanka was seen playing around with young Ukrainian children and doing some fun activities like drawing and painting. She also received some handmade dolls which the kids claimed were named after her.
The actress also shared a few photos and videos on her Instagram stories, in which she could be seen having a good time there.
