Yesterday evening players of Manchester United attended the prestigious United for UNICEF Gala Dinner at Old Trafford, aimed at supporting activities of UNICEF.
The 18th annual event raised a fantastic GBP 160k.
All funds raised from this year’s dinner will go towards UNICEF’s vital work in Thailand, to support education programs for children with limited or no access to schooling. These children are among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable children in Thailand. Many children in Thailand are denied access to education because of poverty, disability, gender discrimination and migrant status.
“My team and I are proud to once again be a part of this amazing event to support vulnerable children in Thailand. We have raised a fantastic amount of money tonight, which will help support children with limited or no access to schooling,” Jose Mourinho said.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, UNICEF Armenia Goodwill Ambassador for a year now, added: “It’s very important for the kids; every child should have a good childhood, to learn how to read and to write, so I hope we can make a difference.”
