Class: Mesut Ozil pays for 11 Children to have operations

 This would not be the first time Mesut Ozil would be showing he really has a big heart with such gestures and we sure hope it won't be the last and more footballers should really step up and follow in his footsteps.
The Arsenal attacking midfielder donated money need for 11 Brazilian children to undergo life changing operations.

He named the children "Ozil's Eleven" and all of them will undergo the operations between October 24 an November 11 in Maranhao.

The project is in co-operation with the children's aid programme BigShoe, as the player's foundation looks to fund the operations for families who would not otherwise be able to afford them.
It would not be the first time Ozil’s showing he has a big heart as earlier mentioned as he spent his Nations 2014 World Cup bonus on operations for 23 children and was presented with the Laureus Sport for Good award last November for his act.

He said: "Even one year after we won the World Cup, I want to continue to leave a positive mark in Brazil by financing 11 more children's operations.
 "For me it's very important that I carry on providing help for the children of Brazil."




The German also became an ambassador for the Brazilian aid programme. Nice one man..
