"She does this all with such grace and calm. The meeting and our discussions, further reiterated my commitment to help children the world over... because every child matters, no matter where they come from.

Earlier this week, Priyanka met with Syrian children and their families whose lives have been greatly affected by the conflict. On the website for the charity, the actress revealed: "Reading about the situation and seeing images still never fully prepares you to experience first-hand the situation of the Syrian refugees. These are people whose lives have been in a constant state of uncertainty for seven years now with no immediate solution in sight." She added: "In the middle of this, for no fault of their own, is an entire generation of children who are being shaped by violence and displacement, resulting in an astonishing lack of education and opportunity. This makes this generation vulnerable on so many levels."
