It was an ardent wish of the children under-care to meet their idol someday, which the Master Blaster duly fulfilled by joining in the pre-Christmas celebrations, a press release said.
The centre, Happy Feet Home, was started in August 2014 with the aim to provide free of cost emotional, psycho-social, educational/vocational and nutritional support to children and young adults with life threatening and life limiting illnesses such as HIV, Thalassemia Major and Cancer.
For the children, the ones under-care, it was a dream come true to meet with Sachin Tendulkar. He joined the young ones for a casual interaction. The children were elated in the company of the Master Blaster, the press release said.
Earlier, the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation had financially contributed to support the centre in Healthcare, Hygiene, Educational programs and Hospital activities, the release further said.
