Antonio Banderas has signed on to serve as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, according to E!- Online.
Antonio Banderas & his wife Melanie Griffith have agreed to work on the eight Millennium Development Goals, which specifically targets poverty.
“Poverty robs us of our potential as a people, preventing us from being all that we can be. This is why it is so important to mobilize all of our efforts to defeat it, especially if today we have the knowledge, the tools and the resources to do it,” he said.
Banderas is among a host of celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, David Beckham, Orlando Bloom & Nicole Kidman who have joined the UN in the fight against global poverty.
