Bloom confirmed today he was stepping up to become UNICEF's latest goodwill ambassador, furthering his commitment to supporting children's rights worldwide.
"I look forward to working with UNICEF as they continue to make the world a better place for children," Bloom, who previously visited Nepal, Russia and Sarajevo on behalf of the organization, said.
"UNICEF doesn't just deliver humanitarian aid, which is what they are known for all over the world. They also educate and provide tools which help women and children face challenges specific to their own lives. I responded to how UNICEF works as much as I did to the work itself. I look forward to learning more and to supporting UNICEF any way I can."
First up for Bloom: Filming a PSA on the importance of clean and accessible drinking water, which will begin airing this week.
What an elf guy.
