“I've learned that people will forget what you said, forget what you did, but will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou
Last week in Addis Ababa, late American poet Maya Angelou’s words resonated with those of retired Ivorian footballer Didier Drogba, who through his foundation facilitates health and education access for vulnerable populations. Drogba said, “Scoring the many goals at the Champions’ League final cannot be compared to helping that one child get a better chance at life.” Many of Drogba’s beneficiaries will forget what he said, even that at one time he a football legend, but they will never forget the feelings he brought to them.
