UNDP
Goodwill Ambassador is an official postnominal
honorific title, title of authority, legal status
and job description assigned to those goodwill

Programme (UNDP) along with other United Nations

ambassadors to advocate these causes. Their fame
helps amplify the urgent and universal message
of human development and international cooperation,

WILL
to donate is common
It is important that they have will to
donate.
We think if they have WILL to donate then either
they can donate directly to NGOs or Charities
they want in their country or any country outside
(if they have said it in their legal staement)
or may have strategy to donate specific issues,
so they can donate it to NGOs issuewise irrespective
of the country.
It is important that they have a WILL to donate.
In India we have seen WILL can be challenged.
That is ok in democratic world.
After all everyone has WILL, some to do good,
some to do bad and some others to challenge good
and waste world's time & money.
