19-year-old striker Kylian Mbappe, who won the Young Player Award in the recently concluded 2018 FIFA World Cup, has reportedly decided to donate all his World Cup earnings to charity. Mbappe won the award for scoring 4 goals in 7 games and guided his team France to lift the World Cup.
According to the reports, Mbappe is donating around $500,000 (Rs 3.42 crore) to Premiers de Cordée association which conducts sports activities for differently-abled children. Mbappe has been associated with this charity organization since 2017.
Mbappe is getting all the praise on Twitter as some users are calling him ‘generous’. Here are some of the reactions:
Like most international footballers already do. So generous. This really shouldn’t be news

A class act that all young people should follow. Setting the standards for future players.

He has the heart of Christ. Christ was always about taking care of the poor, healing them, selling all you have and sharing among the poor. Even most pastors in Nigeria particularly don’t have this heart. God bless you son

That’s why these players with good hearts will always progress positively in life.
