Ana Ivanovic Meets Belgrade Kids For ‘School Without Violence’ Campaign

As a UNICEF National Ambassador for Serbia, Ana Ivanovic has given extensive time for charitable causes. Recently, the 26-year-old Serb met with kids, school principals, and parents for the "School Without Violence" campaign.

According to a statement posted on her site, Ivanovic was joined by UNICEF Representative in Serbia Michel Saint-Lot. The assembly was held at the Delphi bookstore in the Student Cultural Centre. It has been said that the mission of their get-together is to talk about the accomplishments of the organisation as well as the obstacles that come into view as they continue to defend and safeguard the children from violence.

Ivanovic said that the organisation is very important for her and she was happy with what they have achieved so far. She added that she will help to the best of her ability to ensure that no kid will live in fear of violence. "I'll help as much as I can and am committed to supporting the work of UNICEF to improve the lives of children," Ivanovic said, as quoted on her Web site.

The Serb also shared snaps from their assembly on social media. On Instagram, Ivanovic shared a picture of her with Saint-Lot. She said it has been a pleasure to be able to speak on behalf of the children to make the world a better place and free from violence. She also posed for selfies with the kids who attended the said humanitarian event.

Ivanovic was named UNICEF ambassador in 2007. UNICEF chose Ivanovic because the tennis star has shown her loyalty to uphold the rights of children. In an interview with Ask Men, Ivanovic said that it was a humbling and incredible experience when she was chosen to be an emissary of the United Nations program.

Ivanovic ended her season in the fifth rank. She won titles in Auckland, Monterrey, Birmingham, and Tokyo. She reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, reached third round of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, and second round of the US Open. The last tournament that she played was the WTA Finals in Singapore. She won twice, beating Eugenie Bouchard and Simona Halep in the round robin stages, but it wasn't enough for her to reach the semifinals of the season-ending tennis event in women's tour.
