Messi lookalike makes children happy
Some people in Egypt could hardly believe their eyes recently. What is the football star from Barcelona Lionel Messi doing here in a children’s home northeast of Cairo in the middle of the season? The resolution is that it is Islam Battah. The 27-year-old Egyptian looks just like the Argentine international. This is pure coincidence, but the young man likes to use it for a good cause: “You can feel happiness in your heart. When I came to the orphanage, I felt the unbelievable happiness of the children when they see me as the real Messi. That is simply indescribable. Because when you make someone happy, it’s like a gift from God. And I just want to share this happiness with the children. ” And Islam Battah not only looks like Messi, no, he can even play football, which probably only makes the kids feel more happy. In his bourgeois life the young man works as a painter. But of course there is less talk of that here. Rather, it is the opportunity for the children to dive into another world and dream.
