Aish named goodwill ambassador

Bollywood diva Aishwariya Rai Bachchan has been named the first goodwill ambassador for Smile Train. Smile train, the maker of movie 'Smile Pinky', is a charitable organization that works worldwide for children with cleft lip. According to a press release, Aish has partnered with the NGO, in association with her own charity - Aishwariya Rai Foundation and will take forward the movement globally.




Feeling obliged Aishwariya said, “God has given me plenty of reasons to smile and I feel it's time to spread it around. There are a lot of children out there who so desperately need help, but can't receive timely care because their families cannot afford this surgery or are ill-educated about this condition. Working with Smile Train, if I can make a difference in their lives, it will certainly make me feel honoured and blessed.”

Since Aishwariya has got global appeal and star power, therefore it is expected she can make the movement more successful. As an ambassador, she has to help Smile Train to provide free cleft surgery to children in 76 developing countries around the world, including India.
