“As a former ballerina, I am jealous of his beautiful lines, his toe points and his effortless gracefulness. I want to pay for his entire formal education anywhere in the world until he graduates from Uni,” the star wrote on her Twitter account.
A few weeks ago, we told the inspiring story of a young African dancer who trained under precarious conditions. He had impressive talent and was just amazing. Unfortunately, he wasn’t well equipped, in fact in the video, he’s seen dancing under the rain, barefoot and in an inappropriate environment to exploit his abilities.
Now, upon meeting the boy, former dancer and “Bookings Africa” CEO, Fadé Ogunro, offered to pay for Anthony’s studies. The young man impressed the entire world with his performance, despite his few resources. He didn’t even have music, but that didn’t stop him from showing off his skills. Many people were certain that someone famous would sponsor him, and this became a reality thanks to Fadé.
Here’s the video that made Anthony famous:

Ogunro is a great activist for the continent. She’s an artist that is conscious and knowledgeable of its realities. People appreciate and applaud her. Now, with this beautiful action, she’s won over thousands of hearts, including ours!
Anthony will also know how to repay her for her help in a way that only he’s capable of offering: by dancing better each day until becoming a great ballet star.
