Pop sensation Katy Perry visited a small Vietnamese village, in the Ninh Thuan Province, as part of her role as Goodwill Ambassador for the children's charity Unicef. 

The 'Firework' beauty met with families who had little or no access to sanitation, education and were struggling to find enough food. Perry told Unicef.org that the trip was eye-opening and left her wanting to do as much as she could for those affected:

"It was heartbreaking to meet a grandmother who was left to care for four grandchildren after her daughter passed away. The family lives off a bumpy path in a remote village in the hills, and one of the grandchildren, a five-year-old named Linh, became severely malnourished."

She went onto explain that Unicef's help was invaluable in helping the people in that community: "If a Unicef-trained outreach worker had not come to the village, and made sure Linh got the care she needed, she might not be alive today. Linh is one of millions of children who face such challenges every day. That's something we should all be worried about."

"All the children I met have incredible dreams. We have to help them fight for those dreams. Investing in the most disadvantaged to give them a fair chance in life is not only the right thing to do, it is the best way to break the cycle of poverty and drastically improve children's health, education and well-being."
