Victoria
Beckham, wife of football superstar David Beckham and former member of
the British all-female pop group, Spice Girls, is set to visit Ghana.
Posh Spice as she is affectionately known, would be in Ghana for a
number of HIV/AIDS related activities courtesy of UNAID Ghana.
Mr
Girmay Haile, UNAIDS Ghana Country Director made the announcement
recently at the Television Awards Ghana. Victoria Beckham was appointed
UNAIDS International Goodwill Ambassador in September 2014 to support
the UNAIDS vision of an AIDS-free generation. She will raise awareness
in support of the UNAIDS-led Global Plan towards the elimination of new
HIV infections among children by 2015 and keeping their mothers alive
and will speak out for young women and girls affected by the epidemic.
Victoria
Beckham has been engaged in humanitarian issues for many years and has a
long-standing interest in the AIDS response. She has been a patron of
the Elton John AIDS Foundation for more than a decade and hopes her role
with UNAIDS will allow her to reach a greater audience with important
messages.
