Irish singer Ronan Keating was 18 when he made his debut. Now, after ten years, he is still in the public eye. His songs "Life is a rollercoaster", "When you say nothing at all", "We've got tonight" and "If tomorrow never comes" have become classics.

In June 2004, Ronan made a trip that was to change his life. He visited farmers and families in Ghana and other developing countries and was shocked at the sight of poverty and how unfair trade laws were destroying livelihoods.

Ronan already supports many charities and set up his own (Marie Keating Foundation) after he lost his mother to cancer in 1998.

"This isnt' about people at home putting their hands at their pockets. This is about joining a campaign to get our governments change things".

Ronan Keating was nominated FAO Goodwill Ambassador on 16 October 2005.
