Novak Djokovic is beside his tennis quite the humanitarian. Years ago he set up his Novak Djokovic foundation which does charity work both in his native Serbia at around the world. Recently the foundation set up a "Season of Giving" campaign which lasted for over a month during the holidays season. The foundation raised 140 000 dollars during that time span and now the popular Nole is matching. He announced the news in a video saying:

"Thanks to your donations we have exceeded the goal of this year’s 'Season of Giving' too and reached the incredible amount of USD 140,000 which will help us open new preschools and implement new preschool programs for children in Serbia. I am proud and my heart is full when we are playing on the same team for the same cause, that’s why Jelena and I decided to double your donations this year too!"

This campaign lasted from the 3rd of December till the 8th of January and it will fund more than 200 children:

"United in doing good and noble deeds, we can bring smiles to the faces of our children and give them hope for a better tomorrow,” Djokovic said. “Thank you very much for believing in our Foundation, your selflessness and all the messages you left on the website together with your donations. Thank you for this victorious start to 2020, because if this is how it starts, it will surely be a fantastic year."

Jelena Djokovic who is the co-founder and global CEO of the foundation added:

"Thank you for helping, year after year, so that a growing number of children in Serbia can have an opportunity to participate in preschool education programs. At the end of September last year, we opened the 44th preschool, in Svilajnac, providing space for another 75 children from this municipality and the neighbouring villages.

We opened a kindergarten in Macvan Prnjavor near Sabac, which allowed more than 150 children from Prnjavor, and other villages near Sabac, to attend kindergarten for the first time,” she said. “There is an ongoing process for opening a kindergarten in Inđija as well, but we will not stop there. Our goal is to change the lives of children in our country."
