VIDEO: Roger Federer Showed His Golden Heart as Malawian Kids Play With His Hair

Swiss Maestro Roger Federer is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world. Sometimes, fans and players call him the Goat (greatest of all time). Over the year, he has done many spectacular things on the court. However, off the court, he also contributed greatly, particularly to the education of children in Africa. Recently, he visited Malawi, a country in East Africa, to help the children once again. Incidentally, he also visited Malawi back in 2015. Recently, a video surfaced online from that visit, which proves that Roger truly has a heart of gold. 

When Roger Federer played with some children in Malawi in 2015

Very few people know that Roger Federer’s mother, Lynette Federer, is from South Africa. So, the Swiss player already had a special bond with Africa in general. In 2003, he created a foundation called Roger Federer Foundation to provide education for underprivileged children in Africa and also Switzerland. 

In 2005, he visited Malawi for the first time and spent some quality time with some kids from a pre-school. During his time, he talked with some kids and they wrote each other’s names. Then, he had a fun time explaining the hair on his forearms.

While visiting the school, the 20-time-Grand Slam winner said, “I believe every young child should have some opportunity to spend some years in such a center because the early education is the foundation of learning.”

In 2022, Roger again visited Malawi and had a chat with the minister of Gender. Later, he handed out 3,000 tablets to help children during their early learning process. 

Federer confirmed his return on the tour

Earlier, Roger had already announced that he would play the Laver Cup in September. However, recently, he made another announcement that made fans really happy. In October, he will return for the tournament in Basel, on his home soil. 

Meanwhile, he already shared some of his practice videos and photos on his Instagram. Despite announcing his return, fans are still hoping to see Roger at the Wimbledon this year. Surely, it will be difficult for Roger to make his return to the grass court, but certainly not impossible.
