This is what the Swiss maestro had to stay –

“That came from me. I always knew I wanted to do something with children. And not just a doctorate, but something with a direct encounter. In addition, physical suffering just affects me too much. So I decided on education. Together with health, it is everything in life.”

Federer revealed that he was not a very good student himself. However, it was his teachers that kept him going.

“Mediocre, I would say. But I always tried really hard. Sometimes I just got a little tired from sitting and listening. Then they had to use all their motivational tricks to keep me going.”

The website of the foundation unveils the organisation as a charity working in collaboration with local organisations. In Africa, it works on target based model looking to tackle important aspects in ealr childhood education.
