Antonio Rüdiger is committed to helping students with disabilities – and sets an example for religious tolerance.



The German-Sierra Leonean football superstar who plays for Real Madrid spent time in the country at the end of the year. He visited several schools and institutions supported by the Antonio Rüdiger Foundation. The photo shows the Christmas celebration at the Milton Margai School for the Blind which he attended as a practicing Muslim. The school was built in 1982 with the support of the German Christoffel Blind Mission.
