There is an African legend that says that if you change your name with that of a sick person, you can save their life. Unicef thought this could be a powerful message and decided to make it for real, first with a TV Spot with the NBA star Pau Gasol, then with many celebrities until it became a social movement that more than 32.000 people followed by changing their names for real on the internet.
