Serena Williams Serves Up Goodwill

While she hasn't exactly been making headlines lately for her good cheer, tennis ace Serena Williams is earning some new good karma by signing on to be UNICEF's latest Goodwill Ambassador. 

Williams, who has already travelled to Ghana with the organization, will use her popularity to champion quality education for children in the developing world. 

"Serena Williams isn't just a world tennis champion, she is a champion for children—and a passionate advocate for providing every child with a quality education," said UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. "We are delighted that Serena is joining us as UNICEF's newest Goodwill Ambassador and look forward to working together to win for children."

She joins an impressive roster of other Ambassadors that includes Shakira, David Beckham, Orlando Bloom and Mia Farrow.
