Pop superstar Rihanna has given Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern a shout-out on Twitter, encouraging her to support the singer’s Clara Lionel Foundation.
“Kia ora @jacindaardern! It’s been a big year for you & NZ – congrats!” wrote the singer.
She then called for Ardern to join the Mandela 100 Global Citizen Festival to pledge funds for the Global Partnership for Education, which aims to get a quality education for children in the world’s poorest countries.
“I hope you & @MFATgovtNZ agree that educating every child can change the world!” said the singer, linking to her Clara Lionel Foundation which she founded in 2012.
