NEWS Cricket World Cup 2007>Sachin Tendulkar's comic act 21st Feb 2007 14.04 IST By Agencies Sachin Tendulkar is always game for a good cause and this time around, he has taken his involvement with the NGO Apnalaya one step further. In the midst of shooting at Mehboob Studio in Mumbai on Tuesday, Sachin took time out to launch a series of comics for young men on responsible sexual behaviour.
Sachin went on to stress the importance of awareness and the need to reach out to the urban poor who usually have no access to information about HIV or AIDS. Of the comics, Sachin says the one thing that will attract youth (between the ages of 15 and 24) is the fact that the stories in the comics are real-life stories. “Because it comes from real-life situations, young men who read this will be a little more convinced and opt for safe and responsible lifestyle.” As of now, the comics are distributed free in Mankhurd and Govandi areas of Mumbai by Apnalaya.
