Much like that footballer, Sadio Mane. More people like them & this world would be a better place.

Mané gives a helping hand to those in need
"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, or two planes? What will these objects do for me and for the world? I was hungry, and I had to work in the field; I survived hard times, played football barefooted, I did not have an education and many other things, but today with what I earn thanks to football, I can help my people," Mané explained.
"I built schools, a stadium, we provide clothes, shoes, food for people who are in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people in a very poor region of Senegal which contributes to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips and even planes. I prefer that my people receive a little of what life has given me".
Back home in Senegal, Mané has funded the construction of a school in Bambali, work on the new school began before the summer.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
