On September 17, 2019, a heartwarming reunion took place in Kenya, as a 13-year-old boy who had been missing was found and reunited with his family.

The boy's image had been featured on Twitter by AS Roma, alongside Henrikh Mkhitaryan, when the midfielder secured his loan move from Arsenal.

AS Roma had partnered with Missing Child Kenya to trace the boy in July, and their efforts paid off when the teenager was found on the day the Armenian international made his AS Roma goal-scoring debut.

Since then, the football club has made several other videos of missing children from different parts of the world, partnering with two missing child charities, the US-based National Center for Missing, Exploited Children (NCMEC) and Telefono Azzurro, for the summer initiative.
