DIkembe Mutombo

dikembe has always been a true hero in my eyes.In 1997, Mutombo with the Mutombo Foundation began plans to open a $29 million, 300-bed hospital on the outskirts of his hometown, the Congolese capital of Kinshasa. Ground was broken in 2001, but construction didn't start until 2004, as Mutombo had trouble getting donations early on although Mutombo personally donated $3.5 million toward the hospital's construction. However, the project has been on the whole very well received at all social and economic levels in Kinshasa. he has been well recognized through his charity work and has donated over 15 million to charities. he is a good person and also played 18 nba seasons.
