The visit of these kids to Dubai is the first step for this season of 'Education For All' initiative, and will culminate in dedicating an entire match for the cause, when Mumbai Indians will play their first home match in Wankhede Stadium May 3.
Around 18,000 to 20,000 underprivileged children from various NGO's across the State of Maharashtra are expected to be at the Wankhede stadium to watch the match on 3rd May.
To spread awareness, the management at Mumbai Indians this year have dedicated the shoulder spot (non-leading arm) on team's jersey to EFA logo, a conscious decision of not retailing the commercial space for any sponsor. For the Mumbai Indians 'ICON' Sachin Tendulkar's jersey, the EFA logo will be spotted on the chest, the franchise said in a release.
