Balotelli, six months as a volunteer with the children of Brescia: “An experience that improved me as a person”

Mario Balotelli is back in the spotlight, but this time for an act of responsibility and personal growth. The former striker of Inter, Manchester City, Milan, and Brescia has completed the probation period ordered by the Brescia Court, engaging in volunteer activities with children for six months.

The measure was ordered following the road accident in November 2023, when Balotelli refused to undergo a breathalyzer test, triggering the criminal proceedings. Now, after completing over 40 hours of service with the Brescia-based association “Bimbo chiama Bimbo,” the player will see the offense extinguished at the hearing set for December 1st.

“An experience that made me grow”

“It was a very positive experience that allowed me to know myself better and improve as a person,” Balotelli said in an interview with the Giornale di Brescia. The striker, currently a free agent, collaborated with the association by participating in educational and recreational activities for children and families in need.

Sources close to the organization report that Balotelli was punctual, available, and engaged, establishing a sincere relationship with the children and volunteers.

The commitment continues even after the probation

Having completed the court-imposed obligation, Balotelli has decided to voluntarily continue his collaboration with “Bimbo chiama Bimbo.” “Mario has expressed the desire to continue helping us,” explain the association. “He has been an example of how a mistake can turn into an opportunity for growth and service to others.”

The gesture represents an important signal in the career and life of the striker, often at the center of controversy but always capable of surprising with acts of generosity and humanity.

The association “Bimbo chiama Bimbo,” based in Brescia, has been supporting fragile families, children in difficulty, and social inclusion paths for over twenty years.
