Sick Kidman Scraps Kenya Trip
By WENNFriday, November 6, 2009
NICOLE KIDMAN is the latest star to fall victim to this year’s (09) flu epidemic - she has been forced to scrap a charity trip to Kenya.
The Hollywood actress was due to fly to the African nation this week (beg02Nov09) as part of an initiative launched by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM).
Kidman planned to visit schools and hospitals in the country and raise awareness of women’s rights, but has now pulled out of the tour after falling ill.
A representative for Kidman says in a statement, “Nicole is deeply sorry that, because she is ill with the seasonal flu, she cannot come to Kenya. The Say NO - UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign is a top priority and together with UNIFEM she will work to advance this critical initiative.”
