The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has appointed Dominican First Lady Margarita Cedeno de Fernandez as one of its Goodwill Ambassadors along with US Olympic champion Carl Lewis, French fashion designer Pierre Cardin, Colombian singer/songwriter Fanny Lu and Indonesian singer/songwriter Anggun.
The FAO said that Dominican President Leonel Fernandez's wife will receive the title of Extraordinary Ambassador in recognition of the numerous social development projects in food and agriculture she has undertaken in her own country, especially those benefiting women.
The five new ambassadors will formally receive the title in a ceremony that will be held at the FAO headquarters in Rome, on 16 October, World Food Day. This year the slogan is "Obtaining secure food supplies during a time of crisis".
