JAKARTA, Indonesia, June 2014 - Actor, model and entrepreneur Ferry
Salim is celebrating 10 years as UNICEF Indonesia’s National Ambassador.
It was June 2004, when UNICEF approached him and asked him if he would
be prepared to work as an advocate for children’s rights.
A father of three children, he readily agreed.
Just six months later, the Indian Ocean tsunami struck northern Sumatra
as well as Thailand, Sri Lanka, India and many other countries, leaving 230,000
people dead.
