We look at our
sports idols as they score goals, touchdowns, hit home runs and break all kinds
of records, while earning millions of dollars and euros. But then there are
those who come from a poor background, and realize how grateful they should be
that they are earning so much money for playing sport. One such player is the
Liverpool star from Senegal, Sadio Mane’. In 2016, he signed a $44.8 million
contract and he has been quite successful with Liverpool, presently helping them
run away with the Premier League as they lead by over 20 points. Mane’ was
determined not to forget his background, and he recently donated $300,000 to
build a school in Banbali, Senegal. He is also sponsoring and paying for the
construction of a stadium and a hospital. He does not want any publicity and to
each family in his hometown, he gave them half of their monthly earnings. And
he also sent 300 Liverpool football shirts to the youth in his community.
