The Serbian tennis player, Novak Djokovic, is not only enhancing his country’s profile on the tennis court but also attempting to aid his country as much as possible through his foundation. Since its establishment in 2007, the 23-time Grand Slam winner’s charity, the Novak Djokovic Foundation, has been actively advancing early childhood education and development. While the Serbian star is on the court, his wife, Jelena Djokovic, oversees the foundation’s activities.

As a supporter of the NDF, the 36-year-old tennis player’s wife recently broke the terrible news that the organization had lost some of its most passionate supporters. Just two days ago, she expressed an enormous amount of sorrow over the loss of a significant supporter and contributor to the NDF, Padma Rajan. And now, to keep her legacy alive, Jelena has taken a step forward, urging people to give and keep her cause alive.
