As much as he is aware and plays well on the football field, ace player Cristiano Ronaldo is also known for his social involvement. Actively involved in humanitarian activities he has now urged people to help the children refugees from the Rohingya conflict. The footballer has posted pictures along with his own kids and also one from the Rohingyas on his Instagram account and called for funds for helping the children in crisis.

The footballer nicknamed CR7 writes 'One world where we all love children.' He has launched the campaign of 'Save the Children' and has made awareness using social media platforms. He requests financial help for these children who have been displaced because of the conflicts in Myanmar. In one picture we see a man holding his small kid with grim expressions and in other, there is Ronaldo surrounded by his four kids. Both these pictures are in monochrome depicting the serious state of the situation.

Almost 640,000 refugees are seeking help post the targetted attacks on them. They are in need of the basic things like- food, water and shelter. A lot of funds are needed for the same to make it accessible. A lot of children have also been separated from their parents in struggling for their lives. It is indeed a very grave situation that needs attention. Ronaldo hopes his huge fan-following will majorly help in contributing to this cause.

Ronaldo has done several other social causes in the past. He was associated with helping people from the forest fires in Portugal. Other than that he has also helped with plasma donations. This is another cause he has taken up and wants support. Let us hope people do come out and support the cause generously!
