MIYAVI was honored last week to be appointed by the UNHCR as Japan's first Goodwill Ambassador. The UN Refugee Agency, a UN program that protects and supports refugees, appointed the guitarists in a special ceremony held on November 20 in Tokyo. A press release issued by the UN Refugee Agency recounts how the musician was introduced to the cause and how he has visited several areas to provide comfort and hope to refugees there. MIYAVI is a passionate advocate for refugees and hopes that his music can raise awareness of their needs. The full press release can be read in Japanese and English on their UNHCR's website.
