"Refugees are no different from us, but what they have been through is far beyond what we can imagine. I am deeply touched by how they manage to keep their dignity, hopes and dreams after everything they have faced in their lives.”
About Praya
Actress and model Praya Lundberg has been supporting UNHCR since 2014 and was appointed UNHCR’s first Goodwill Ambassador in Thailand on 31 January 2017 in recognition of her commitment to the forcibly displaced.
Praya has shown great compassion and demonstrated tireless commitment to refugees by raising public awareness of their needs and helping people in Thailand better understand UNHCR's work. She has travelled to the refugee camps in Thailand to witness UNHCR’s frontline work and spend time with refugees in order to be able to reflect their plight and dignity.
Praya is a supporter of UNHCR’s global #WithRefugees campaign. She appears in a campaign film alongside 60 other high profile supporters, refugees and UNHCR staff. Together with other UNHCR Goodwill Ambassadors she took part in our Facebook Live World Tour #WithRefugees to encourage supporters to sign the #WithRefugees petition ahead of its hand in to the Secretary General as part of activities around the historic Summit on Refugees and Migrants at the UN General Assembly in September 2016.
