Novak Djokovic Visits Serbian Kindergarten in Smederevo

Novak Djokovic Visits Serbian Kindergarten in Smederevo

Novak Djokovic, who was recently named a National Ambassador for UNICEF in Serbia, visited a kindergarten in Smederevo and spent time with the children between the ages of three and five.

“I was on the field visit to pre-school ‘Pcelica’ (‘Little Bee’) in Smederevo as ambassador for UNICEF for early childhood education,” he wrote on Facebook. “I had a lot of fun with kids, they were so eager to play and ask questions and show their little talents.

“I hope to see more of these kind of institutions which integrate children from all areas, and children with disabilities and Roma children. Every child deserves the opportunity to grow in a clean, healthy environment where they can play and learn and reach their potential.”

“Through my work with UNICEF, I want to help Serbian children realise their dreams,” Djokovic said. “I want to help them understand that they have rights and that those rights should be protected. I want them to believe that anything is possible.”

“Novak Djokovic is a natural fit for UNICEF. He cares deeply about the welfare of Serbian children, bringing the same passion and enthusiasm for his career on the court to addressing issues affecting children.” Said Rima Salah, Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF.
