Nicole Scherzinger shares touching Instagram snaps during Unicef visit to The Philippines

Nicole Scherzinger put her A-list lifestyle on hold to spend a day meeting children in the city of Manila in The Philippines for Unicef.

Scherzinger, 36, met children taking part in singing and dancing activities at the Baseco Compound, near the main port in Manila, many of whom are living in overcrowded conditions and struggling against poverty, hunger, disease and the risk of violence.

“I’m part Filipina so I have a strong connection with the country and feel I have a responsibility to do what I can and bring awareness to the dangers that Filipino children face everyday. It’s been so humbling to meet incredible, inspiring Filipino children who are living in really tough conditions.” said Scherzinger.

"It’s amazing to see how Unicef and their partners are trying to do more to protect children in danger.”

The former Pussycat Doll is supporting Unicef UK’s Children in Danger campaign.
