My heroes always are mostly my parents - my father especially, and my mom, who's passed on already. My dad is a very strong man, and by him being educated, and a principal and school superintendent over 37 years, he plays such a big role in my life.

24,000 people, 18,000 of them children, die every day because of hunger. Each year we bring food to nearly 90 million people in more than 80 countries. Food - there's no greater gift, and no better way to give it than the World Food Programme.

Scores of Congolese die each day unnecessarily due to the lack of access to healthcare and modern medicine.

God put us here to prepare this place for the next generation. That's our job. Raising children and helping the community, that's preparing for the next generation.

Food - there's no greater gift.

I cannot forget the place that I come from. The Congo is much in need.

After spending more than 17 years playing for the NBA, in the summertime, I always came back to community service and different basketball clinics.
