Why?  Because in addition to sneaking into the picture of Arbeloa and Xabi above and making a v-sign, he’s going to Senegal today for charity work.  I knew it!

Sergio will be traveling to Senegal as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador to observe how certain programs that the organization is carrying out in the country are going.  He’s especially interested in projects related to education and health.  Sergio will visit several spots, some of them chosen by himself, over the course of four days.  He’ll be able to see firsthand how vaccination and nutrition programs are going, and what is being done to help out vulnerable children.

If you recall, last winter Sergio was the co-host, along with Kanuoté and UNICEF, of a charity game for Africa.
