Speaking about the event, Shefali Sunderlal, President, CRY America said, "We invite everyone (children, parents and grandparents) to join our local city walks to ensure that underprivileged children realize their potential and their dreams".

CRY America, over the past 10 years, has ensured lasting change in the lives 422,878 children living across 2,395 villages and slums through support to 64 projects in India and the USA. This was done by working with community groups to ensure that children went to school and not to work, that they received quality health care and issues of child marriage and girl child discrimination were addressed.  

"This impact has been possible only because of the support received from 19,000 donors and 2000 volunteers. If we all come together and address children's issues with a sense of urgency, then no child will remain illiterate, malnourished or exploited", Sunderlal concluded.

CRY Walk 2013 is presented by Star TV and sponsored by Air India, TV Asia, Inome and Mera Sangeet. We thank all our sponsors for their generous support.

"Our participation in the CRY Walk this year is a reiteration of our social commitment to support a charity every year.
