Gomez 'honoured to help educate fans'

Selena Gomez has admitted that she is "honoured" to help raise the profile of Ghana among her fanbase.

The Wizards Of Waverly Place star recently travelled to the African country in association with her new role as UNICEF's youngest ever ambassador.

Speaking to The AP, she said: "I feel very honoured to have a voice that kids listen to and take into consideration.

"I had people on my tour asking me where is Ghana, and they Googled it... and because I went there, they now know where Ghana is. So it's pretty incredible."

She added: "I got to meet teens, I got to meet children, I got to meet families. It was completely life-changing and eye-opening, and when we came back we definitely had nothing to complain about."
