In a novel gesture, HIV-positive kids will lead Atletico de Kolkata and Delhi Dynamos FC players into the turf during their ISL fixture at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan here tomorrow.
"It is a CSR initiative that we are proud to be associated with. It is nice see the children enjoying the company of international stars, which lights up their lives," ATK co-owner utsav Parekh told reporters.
He said that it was their tie-up with Ananda Ghar, a city-based NGO which is the home for children living with HIV/AIDS, taking care of their treatment, living and education.
The kids will be part of ATK's each campaign at the home ground.
