Lions goalie Hassan Sunny donates $10,000 from China fans to charity
SINGAPORE — Lions goalkeeper Hassan Sunny has donated $10,000 from the money he received from Chinese football fans to the Muhammadiyah Welfare Home (MWH).
On July 2, MWH put up a post on its Facebook page, with a photo of Hassan presenting a $10,000 cheque to its head Rahmatunnisa Abdul Majeed. He also interacted with the children there.
MWH, a children's home that provides shelter and 24/7 residential care for boys from the ages of 10, said «it received a visit from special guest Singapore goalkeeper Hassan... who is no stranger to the Home».
«The contribution will go towards our upcoming CharityFest which will take place later this year,» the post added.
Speaking to Berita Harian, Hassan, a father of four, said: «I want to put a smile on their faces because it is not easy for children to live their lives like that. When I hear their stories or experiences, I am very sad.
»So I hope to see them smile (with this donation)... I think that's enough. I don't come from a wealthy family, so I understand the difficulties they face. So, this contribution is indeed my responsibility."
