Four Australian bikers, who have embarked on a 7,000-km long journey across India under the project 'Ride for Rights', would reach Mumbai on Monday and celebrate Holi with children in Sion-Koliwada here.
The bikers-- Cameron Perry, Scott Grills, Ben Butcher and Taylor Hogan-- have partnered with the Indian NGO Child Rights and You (CRY), to embark on their dream project 'Ride for Rights - An Indian Odyssey' from Delhi.
"Through their journey, the bikers aim to film a documentary on the challenges faced by children in India, create mass awareness about their issues, and capture stories of hope and change, and in the process raise funds for their cause," CRY, which works for children's rights in India, said in a statement.
In Mumbai, the bikers, who are supporting the welfare project launched by NGO Sparsh, in which CRY is a partner, will interact with communities and underprivileged children, the statement said.
"While playing Holi with the children, they would capture stories of kids and highlight challenges, which deprive them of their rights," it said.
Providing details of their 45-day tour, the CRY said the bikers started the journey from Delhi and would reach Maharashtra on March 13 after visiting Rajasthan and Gujarat.
After Maharashtra, they would head to Goa and Karnataka. Later, they would go to Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Odisha, before visiting Uttarakhand and ending their ride in Delhi, the statement said.
