UNICEF Ambassadors Leon Lai, Lang Lang, and Miriam Yeung at Welcoming Party UNICEF ambassadors Leon Lai, Lang Lang and Miriam attended a welcome party. They used Mandarin to share their feelings of visiting poorer countries. Miriam talked about her visit to Shanxi and was asked by the host to repeat her speech in English one more time. Miriam appeared to be nervous at first. Luckily Miriam was trained by her father usually so she could speak fluent English and did not embarrass herself. When asked if she was nervous when the host asked her to speak English, she replied it was too sudden but her performance was still okay. When asked if she has ever given a public speech in English, she said it was seldom in entertainment activities but she spoke in English in one fostering event and she had preparations beforehand. This time round was a bit sudden. Miriam hopes to go to Africa for a visit. She had sent in an application two years ago, but each time she couldn't go due to political situations there. When asked if she will distribute condoms when she goes there, she replied she had distributed them before and it was funny when some people thought it will be safer by using more. Hence she thought of giving a talk, to teach students the correct way of using condoms and preventing infectious diseases. Miriam said, even though the figure of AIDS in Hong Kong did not increase, there are more and more young people being infected. The technology may be advanced nowadays, correct knowledge of AIDS is also needed, especially not to discriminate the patients. Miriam is willing to film a promotional video and even suggested to cooperate with Leon, and hold AIDS lyrics composing competition in schools. Source: The Sun Credits: Thousand Island Singapore
