I’ve been very fortunate in my life so far because I’ve had people who believed in me and helped me. Now, I want to give back.

I think it’s important that all children – regardless of where they come from or their personal circumstances – have access to educational opportunities. Above all, the kids whose lives are that much tougher need our support.
While I’m very fortunate and privileged to be a pro footballer, that also comes with the responsibilities of acting as a role model and serving society. I’m determined to live up to those expectations and take a stand against racism and for equal opportunities for all children, especially when it comes to education. Just as people believed in me and helped me, I want to do the same for kids living under challenging circumstances. If, as a pro footballer, I can make a small difference in their lives, then that’s what I’m going to do. Because this is something I care strongly about.
