‘I Hope I can Inspire Others’- Roger Federer

Roger Federer has amassed over a 100 million dollars, in just prize money. His endorsements, which are the likes of Rolex, Wilson and Mercedes, pump in more earnings. Most of the licentious people around the world, tend to distribute their excess wealth in charities or community services. Roger Federer is no different. The Swiss Maestro has been actively involved in charity and in making an effort to provide the bare necessities to communities to sustain a healthy and peaceful life.

‘We hope that children and their families who didn’t get the same chances in life as we did will be able to benefit from our work’, said Federer. ‘It allows me to fulfil a dream of my own and, at the same time, help make the dreams of others become a reality’.

‘In Africa, we are working towards improving the quality of education in primary schools and for early childhood. In Switzerland, meanwhile, we are focusing on promoting extracurricular activities for children from low-income families’.

Federer also said that he usually does not publicly speak out on a lot of matters, because more often than not you end up offending someone. ‘If you freely express your opinion, you will offend many people’, said the Swiss maestro. ‘This is why there are topics that I don’t speak about publicly and that belong to my private life. I also don’t want people to think a certain way just because Roger Federer does.’

However, he does not want to miss out on the opportunity to lead a generation by example, and set a course for a better life, for the people who do follow him.

‘I hope that I can inspire others so maybe they will then say: “Hey, Federer is doing something good, I could do something too.’

Federer is expected to return to action at the Cincinatti masters next, where he will begin his campaign to prepare for his pre-US open preparation.
