Robbie Williams visits Haiti
Singer Robbie Williams was reportedly humbled by the child victims of the Haiti earthquakes.
Williams has visited the country as an ambassador for UNICEF.
Williams has spent time with children that were affected by the earthquakes in January and was said to be visibly moved by the conditions that many have to now live in.
Williams said “I met children who were injured, who had been separated from their parents and were living in temporary shelters or on the streets. This earthquake hit children the hardest. The children are so vulnerable.”
He said: “They’re living day-to-day without the basic things they need and at risk of violence and abuse. I don’t know about you, but I think this is wrong and we need to put it right.”
The 36-year-old singer admitted he was outraged by the “risk of violence” which child refugees now face everyday.
Williams will also be launching a special challenge for Scocer Aid which is a star studded sports event , that will take place on June 6th and raises funds for UNICEF, the event will be called ‘Keep It Up For Soccer Aid.
Robbie is asking people to be sponsored for the number of ‘keepy-uppys’ – juggling a football with various parts of the body without letting it fall on the floor – they can do in aid of the organisation.
Speaking of the challenge, Robbie added: “It’s really simple, do as many sponsored keepy-uppys as you can to make a real difference to the lives of children.”
Other stars who have visited Haiti include Sean Penn, Sienna Miller, Susan Sarandon, Demi Moore and Gerard Butler.
