Nicole Kidman's tsunami mission

被联合国授予“世界公民奖”的好莱坞女星妮可·基德曼即将前往刚刚经受海啸侵袭的印度尼西亚,为联合国儿童基金会工作。安吉丽娜·裘莉也即将作为亲善大使前往斯里兰卡。

Nicole Kidman's tsunami mission

Nicole Kidman will visit tsunami-ravaged Indonesia as a United Nations Citizen of the World. And fellow movie star Angelina Jolie plans to go to Sri Lanka as a Goodwill Ambassador.

Oscar-winner Kidman will be accompanied by her younger sister Antonia.

"My sister and I are going to go," she revealed on US TV.

"We are going to go there in the third week of January." Kidman was named a Citizen of the World by the United Nations last year.

The Indon tour continues her work with UNICEF.

Kidman said she hoped the trip to Indonesia would continue to put the spotlight on the devastated region and help continue to raise money for victims.

"Obviously it still needs an enormous amount of attention," she said.

Jolie will visit Sri Lanka to help focus attention on the hard-hit island.

But the star also warns of the potential dangers of forgetting about suffering in other areas.

"We mustn't lose sight of all the other problems around the world. There are still wars and conflicts going on in Iraq, Afghanistan and Darfur," she said.
