"Being appointed UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador at just 23 years old is more than an honour, it’s an achievement and a duty which I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. Of course, I want to be recognized as a great player, but also as a citizen who tried to make a difference.
"I've been fighting for education since I was 19 years old, and my Institute is gradually developing in Brazil. Thanks to the support of UNESCO, we're now going to have a positive impact on the whole world," wrote Vini Jr on IG when he was appointed by UNESCO earlier this month.
