Katy Perry Visits Madagascar with UNICEF

Opening her eyes to the issues faced by some of the poorest in the world, Katy Perry visited Madagascar last week on a UNICEF mission.

The “Wide Awake” singer checked out the charity’s educational and health programs while in the impoverished nation.

In a statement, the 38-year-old pop star shared, “In less than one week here in Madagascar, I went from crowded city slums to the most remote villages and my eyes were widely opened by the incredible need for a healthy life — nutrition, sanitation, and protection against rape and abuse — which UNICEF are stepping in to help provide.”

Appreciating the experience, Ms. Perry added, “I am grateful to UNICEF for giving me the opportunity to see first-hand how their programs make a real difference in children’s lives. Support for UNICEF is saving children, I am a witness to it.”

Though it may have been a quite sobering visit, Katy showed her Twitter followers a glimpse of her fun personality peeking through the hardship when she posted a photo of herself fist-bumping a young child with the caption, “One of my favorite moments from my life changing @UNICEF trip to Madagascar!”

Katy Perry: Billboard’s 2012 Woman of the Year

Making a stunning red carpet arrival, Katy Perry was on hand at the Billboard’s Woman of the Year luncheon in New York City this afternoon (November 30).

The 28-year-old honoree graces the cover of the special Women in Music issue of the magazine and dishes on topics including being chosen as the special gal to being a role model.

Highlights from Miss Perry’s interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Billboard!

On being chosen as Billboard’s Woman of the Year:
“I’d thought my year was over, that it was time to pass the baton. But I guess I get to hold onto it until the end of the year [laughs]. It’s truly a lovely compliment. Seeing who has been honored in the past-Beyonce, Taylor Swift and others-I’m in good company.”

On being a role model:
“I’d like to change the phrase ‘role model’ to ‘inspiration.’ ‘Role model’ puts you on a pedestal that no one can really live up to. For me, aspiring to be an artist at a young age, I didn’t think about being a role model. But I definitely thought about being an inspiration. So I hope that I am an inspiration, especially with my work ethic and my ability to overcome obstacles.”

On the last two years:
“It feels like the record that never ends [laughs]. I’m glad I’m still alive-27 has been a very testing year. I feel I’m in the same position I was in after I made the first record. I toured [on] that and then made the second record and toured that. Now I’m at an in-between position again. But I’m not scared or feeling uncertain. It’s still about coming from a very honest place to reconnect with my core.”
