"    Following a visit to Madagascar for UNICEF earlier this year, Katy Perry was named the organization&amp;#039;s newest Goodwill Ambassador.  &amp;quot;Katy Perry is already a champion for children, and we look forward to hearing her &amp;#039;roar&amp;#039; on behalf of UNICEF,&amp;quot; said UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. &amp;quot;We are delighted that she is joining us as UNICEF&amp;#039;s newest Goodwill Ambassador and lending her remarkable voice to amplify the voices of children and young people around the world.&amp;quot; At the event, the popstar said that her perspective on life changed after Madagascar, a trip that exposed her to people in one of the poorest countries of the world who lived with the simplest of means. It inspired her to write her latest song, &amp;quot;Unconditionally,&amp;quot; that is charged with the sentimentality of the star&amp;#039;s emotional experience.  Later that evening, Perry dazzled on the red carpet at the 9th annual UNICEF Snowflake Ball at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.    "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
