Soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo is donating €100,000 on behalf of Uefa to help rehabilitate Afghans who have lost limbs, mostly landmine victims, the International Committee of the Red Cross has said.
It is the second time that the Real Madrid and Portugal forward – who has featured a record seven times in the uefa.comuser's poll for Team of the Year – has contributed to the ICRC's network of seven orthopaedic centres in Afghanistan, it says. On behalf of Uefa, he donated a similar amount in 2008 to the ICRC, which has helped over 90,000 mine and other victims since 1988. – (Reuters)
