Selena Gomez posted the following photo on her Twitter site after landing in Africa. The Wizards of Waverly Place star has been officially appointed as the youngest ambassador for UNICEF.

"Every day 25,000 children die from preventable causes," Gomez said about her involvement with the organization. "I stand with UNICEF in the belief that we can change that number from 25,000 to zero. I know we can achieve this because every moment, UNICEF is on the ground providing children with the lifesaving assistance needed to ensure zero becomes a reality."

Gomez is in the country of Ghana for her first field-mission for UNICEF. Her debut album Kiss & Tell comes out September 29.
