Philanthropy is not only for billionaires. Some people give money, others give years of their lives or build something the public can use for free. London Real has spoken to a fighter who left his career to help a forgotten people in the Congo, a trader who funds schools and conservation, a former NBA player and the co-founder of Wikipedia. These conversations look at why people give back and what it asks of them. Every full interview is free to watch.
From MMA fighter and Fight for the Forgotten founder Justin Wren and Karmagawa co-founder Timothy Sykes to Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger and former NBA player Boki Nachbar: what it means to give back, and the different ways people choose to do it.
Justin Wren looked set to dominate the Bellator heavyweight division when he walked away from MMA and travelled to Africa. He spent years in the Congo helping the Mbuti Pygmy people through his charity, Fight for the Forgotten, which helps them dig wells for clean water and buy back land. Timothy Sykes, known for earning $1.65 million day trading while at Tulane University, co-founded the charity Karmagawa, which builds schools and funds conservation.
