Heroes of Our Time

A good heart

Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship (獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金) to study medicine—but Coach (教練) John Thompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good?hearted man：“Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.”

And she is using her success to help others—producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
