Priyanka Chopra Shows the Desi ‘Thumka’ to Kids In Zimbabwe

Pics and videos from Priyanka Chopra’s visit to Zimbabwe as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Priyanka Chopra has become a global star post her stint in the US. A few days before the release of her film Baywatch, Priyanka has been touring the world and was recently in Zimbabwe. The actress was there to be part of a programme focused on protecting children against violence. Priyanka who happens to be a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, helped raise funds for the programme. The actress took to Instagram to share pictures and videos from her time spent in the company of the adorable local kids. The pictures are simply cute and the video of PC showing the children how to do a Bollywood ‘thumka’ is so much fun.

My start to a beautiful morning before ending an amazingly insightful trip. This is an Isibindi ("courage" in Zulu) Safe Park. The parks and program are all about prevention and early intervention to protect children from the HIV/AIDS crisis and many other vulnerabilities that can lead to violence in South Africa..The volunteer child and youth care workers (CYCW) help create a safe environment for children to play and be counseled in a controlled and protected environment. The National association of child and youth care workers (NACCW) is responsible for training almost 10,000 CYCWs and deliver services to almost 1.4 million children in SA..These workers connect with the children on a personal level, in their homes and in the park, and involve themselves in their daily life events like homework, household chores, and family issues. They use ordinary human interaction to feed these children teach them life skills and take care of the emotional needs of children -especially in child headed and parent less families. I've never seen so much commitment on such a personal level. I salute them 🙏🏻
