    Djokovic supports early childhood education in Serbia with $100,000

    By Jenny Lei Ravelo // 22 December 2011

    Men’s tennis world No. 1 Novak Djokovic is sharing a part of his blessings to vulnerable children in Serbia this December.

    The tennis star, who became a UNICEF National Ambassador in Serbia in August, donated $100,000 to support early childhood education in the country. He hopes his donation will “make a difference” to the youth in Serbia.

    “Building a solid foundation in the early years of a child’s life will not only help him or her reach [his or her] full potential but will also result in better societies as a whole,” he said.

    Apart from the thousand dollar donation, Djokovic is promoting UNICEF Serbia’s card and gift campaign to raise funds for the most vulnerable children around the world.
