You know Priyanka Chopra is rooting #ThisTimeForAfrica as part of UNICEF’s campaign to help end violence against kids in Africa. Right? Well, not only is Pee Cee doing so with her staunch grit and dedication but through her social media tracking, one can safely assume that she did so the fun way.

Priyanka’s Africa trip looked like a great mix of bettering the world and having fun at the same time. And, post that, she was seen enjoying with the kids at Isibindi Safe Park, South Africa. From having gannas to doing thumkas to getting big group hug, here’s what Pee Cee’s Africa trip looked like.

1. Priyanka spent time with the kids and charmed them all with her personality.

My start to a beautiful morning before ending an amazingly insightful trip. This is an Isibindi ("courage" in Zulu) Safe Park. The parks and program are all about prevention and early intervention to protect children from the HIV/AIDS crisis and many other vulnerabilities that can lead to violence in South Africa..The volunteer child and youth care workers (CYCW) help create a safe environment for children to play and be counseled in a controlled and protected environment. The National association of child and youth care workers (NACCW) is responsible for training almost 10,000 CYCWs and deliver services to almost 1.4 million children in SA..These workers connect with the children on a personal level, in their homes and in the park, and involve themselves in their daily life events like homework, household chores, and family issues. They use ordinary human interaction to feed these children teach them life skills and take care of the emotional needs of children -especially in child headed and parent less families. I've never seen so much commitment on such a personal level. I salute them 🙏🏻
