Sachin Tendulkar has been touching lives since he emerged as of the greatest sporting icons in the world. The wonderkid from Mumbai rose to become a giant in world cricket with some unmatched feats spread over three decades. During his time with the Indian cricket team, Sachin Tendulkar was pillar of strength for the entire nation. Till the time he was at the crease, the hope for a win was always there no matter the toughness of the situation. Now, even after almost 10 years since retiring from Test cricket, Sachin Tendulkar is continuing to tough people’s lives.
On Friday he posted a video and revealed how he is supporting children with cleft lips.
“We don’t often think about our ability to smile, as a gift. We consider it a given. There are a few, who struggle to express even this basic emotion. Nearly 60,000 babies in India are born every year with deformities that inhibit their smiles,” Sachin Tendulkar posted on X.
“Through Sachin Tendulkar Foundation (@STF_India), we have been working with a wonderful set of doctors who strive to put a smile back on children’s faces, through cleft lip and palate surgeries.
“One of the centres we have been supporting is in Srinagar. During our trip to Jammu & Kashmir, we spent time in Inga Health Foundation’s hospital, interacting with doctors, children and their parents. Listening to the stories of how the surgery has transformed lives of these children was indeed gratifying. Anjali, Sara and I were all smiles after meeting these little heroes. We are happy to have contributed to this beautiful change in their lives.”
