Roca Team captain Yakuba Ouattara has always been committed to helping sick and underprivileged children, and for the past 3 years he has been the patron of the No Finish Line, Monaco’s biggest charity race.
He came to see 7-year-old Aziz, who was operated on by the paediatric cardio team at Monaco’s Cardio-Thoracic Centre, which is very involved in humanitarian work since its creation. This little Ivorian suffered from a serious heart defect that could not be treated in his country of origin.
The operation was made possible thanks to the involvement and generosity of Children & Future, the Department of International Cooperation, the MCH, the Monegasque Red Cross, Aviation sans Frontières and Aziz’s host families.
Giving a second life to sick children from developing countries is a strong commitment from the Principality and one that mobilises this sportsman with a big heart!
