Gyan's $340,000 philanthropic projects in 2015

Black Stars captain and talisman, Asamoah Gyan has received several plaudits for the several sterling performances he keeps churning out for the national football side which have propelled him to become Ghana's all-time top scorer with 48 goals as well as Africa's all-time top scorer at the FIFA World Cup but his recent philanthropic projects are mind-boggling.

Over the year, the Shanghai SIPG lynchpin has doled out hundreds of dollars for some significant projects to be carried out as part of his social responsibility to the less privileged in society.
