In Inside Tennis (June 2006, Southern California Edition)they wrote that the Atlanta Journal Constitution asked Anna Kournikova who her role models were and she said, "Oprah and Queen Rani Al-Abdullah of Jordan." Rani? I guess Anna has a nickname for Queen Rania .

The Queen toured the facilities of the society, which offers a wide range of services to the local community, including a crèche for women working at the society, a kindergarten and a sewing and embroidery training workshop.

Prominent Women Leaders from Across the Globe To Gather in Jordan with Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah June 11-13

Prominent Women Leaders from Across the Globe to Gather in Jordan with Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah to launch the Global Women's Action Network for Children June 11-13th 2006 at the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center - Dead Sea, Jordan

Every minute somewhere in the world a mother dies during pregnancy or childbirth; every hour 450 newborn babies die; and every three seconds a child under five dies. Added together, that's more than 11 million women and children dying each year from mostly preventable causes. More than 100 million children across the globe do not attend school. The majority of them are girls.

On June 11-13th, 2006, women leaders from around the globe - including heads of state, leading advocates for children, philanthropic leaders and Nobel Laureates - will gather at the Dead Sea in Jordan for a three day conference designed to address these critical issues.
