Hilary Named Youth Ambassador In Bogota

Hilary Duff has been named as ambassador for the youth for the city of Bogota in Colombia. According to the Mayor of Bogota, Hilary Duff will be coming to the city sometime between August 1 and August 15 to be a guest of honor.

This honor was brought about as Blessings in a Backpack, the charity Hilary Duff has been ambassador of for some time now, plans to take the program to new levels. The charity will be promoted around Bogota in school and community diners, with the mayor saying that Hilary was inspired by existing feeding campaigns in the city.

From the comments at the newspaper website It seems many Colombian fans are angry at her and the mayor is stupid. This is because of an incident from 2005, where Hilary cancelled the only South American leg she has ever had on a tour and promised to reschedule new dates. She never returned to South America for a concert (Brazil excluded.)

The Blessings in a Backpack program, in Bogota, will also be encouraging participation in vaccination programs.
