(CNN)As well as being a superstar for Manchester United and England, Marcus Rashford is using his platform to help others less fortunate than him.

Last year, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Rashford led a campaign to end child food poverty and successfully lobbied the British government to continue providing free school meals during the holidays.
He also launched a book club to get disadvantaged children reading more earlier this year.

And the 23-year-old can count former US President Barack Obama as one of his admirers after all his hard work.
On a Zoom call organized by publishers Penguin, Obama hailed Rashford for being “a lot further ahead than I was at 23.”
“They’re already making changes and being positive forces in their communities” Obama said speaking about the young people he meets.
“Even if you do something positive on a small scale, that’s making a difference, and it’s the accumulation of people doing positive things over time that makes us a little bit better with each successive generation.”
Obama and Rashford were on the virtual meeting to discuss the impact young individuals can have on society.
