Dubai: Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar shared a heartfelt message for children across India on Children’s Day, urging them to dream big and have the opportunity to turn their ambitions into reality.
The former India captain took to Instagram on Saturday to mark the occasion, highlighting the importance of giving every child access to education, healthcare and sports.
“May every child always have the freedom to dream and the opportunity to make those dreams come true. Happy Children’s Day!” Tendulkar wrote in an Instagram story.
His message was a reaction to a post from the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation, which spoke about the importance of developing children beyond academic and sporting achievements.
“Being a champion at life has nothing to do with standing on a podium. It is about having the curiosity to learn, the health to stay active, and the self-belief to face whatever comes next,” the foundation said in its Instagram post.
It also highlighted its efforts to create opportunities for children from underprivileged backgrounds.
“Every child deserves a fair chance to discover what they are capable of. That is why we work with grassroots organisations across communities to bring sport, healthcare, and education closer to children’s everyday lives,” the statement added.
“Here’s to nurturing confident, healthy, and happy young individuals. Happy Children’s Day!”
