Sergio Ramos visited children in Senegal just days after becoming a champion at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
He visited a rural community health centre outside Dakar that focuses on improving the nutrition of mothers and their children.
He assisted in weighing a baby girl at a health post in the village of Keur Seydou. These routine check-ups are crucial for monitoring the growth of local children to detect signs of malnutrition. In a country where 17 per cent of children under five years of age are chronically undernourished, such inventions are vital.
By being a part of the process, Ramos gained an understanding of how UNICEF and its partners reach vulnerable children.

“If there is something to be thankful for, it is the many NGOs, but above all, UNICEF, who is doing a wonderful job in every project; not only with soccer, but with child nutrition and with the individual education of each child in Senegal.”
The football star surprised Senegalese youths at a high school Dakar by joining them in a soccer match in the midday sun.
Ramos told the children to continue dreaming and moving toward their goals by working hard and staying in school.
His visit inspired the children of Senegal to keep their dreams alive.
