Federer’s generosity

Most people know Roger Federer as the Swiss tennis player who has so far won 20 Grand Slam Titles. He won the Australian Open 6 times, the French Open once, the British Open at Wimbledon 8 times and the US Open 5 times. He’s married to Mirka who is frequently in the stands watching and cheering her husband while cradling one of the 4 children they have, two sets of twins, two girls, who are now 10, and 2 boys who are now 5. What many people don’t know is the generosity that Roger shows towards other children. Last year he donated $13.5 million to open 81 schools in Africa. The schools are in Malawi, and cater for all ages, from kindergarten to High School. His kindness will change the life of 150,000 children to the year 2021. There are other projects going on in Switzerland, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and other nations. His noble gesture encouraged other sportsmen and women to sponsor other philanthropic projects to help children in third world countries. Thank you, Roger!
