It is an honour to be invited to be a National Ambassador to UNICEF Australia and so important that is at a time where I can really contribute," Callan said. '"My friends, the actors I work with, and I, all have shelter, food and family," he said. "We need to help the children who are without these things. Children in Syria are suffering right now and so many more have been affected by Haiyan," he said. UNICEF Australia executive officer Norman Gillespie said it was an honour to welcome Callan to the UNICEF family. "UNICEF works to protect children’s rights and Callan is a young man people of his generation look up and aspire to," Mr Gillespie said.[2]
