The Chennai province of the World Malayalee Council (WMC), in association with Madras Medical Mission and Kairali Television, will organize a mega event ‘Hridayaragam' to support an orphanage for children with HIV/ AIDS. On April 18, Tamil and Malayalam film stars will come together in the city at ‘Hridayaragam', an awards ceremony with a difference. The event will be held at Nehru Indoor Stadium from 5.30 p.m onwards.

Veteran actor Kamal Haasan, ambassador of the initiative, said medical attention was given to as many as 160 children in the last few years, thanks to the WMC's efforts. “This is like a tiny drop. There are several lakh persons out there who need such support. We have a long way to go.”
