| hi all , Actually before latha visited the place, my daughter had been to the place, and she came so upset that evening, she was crying at the cruelty of the parents. This is what it looks from the eyes of a 12 year old...I actually wanted to ask her to write the experience...but felt it will upset her more.. "Mom, the first thing I wanted to do was run out of the place, to the safety of our home. the place is not for children, whenever you used to tell me there are underprivileged i never thought it was so bad." My principal said "Charu! please move with the children.." So hesitating, I moved forward. The entire building is in a very bad shape. There were children, adults all abandoned by their family. there was 5/6 days old babies which were left just outside the orphanage. The elder children some were blind, some deaf, and with other disabillities.. The older girls were taking of the days old baby. and they were all so happy that we visited them, they were all smiling inspite of all their problems.We played and sang songs with them. Some of the children were crying....: The only question my children had "How can a mother be so cruel. leaving day old baby in the open." It seems some of the babies were retrieved from dust bins and garbage bins.I don't have answers. Now, she wants to donate her savings to these children on her birthday.

| Dearest Lata, Firstly, though belated, very warm and happy wishes to your precious Krishna. May God always bless him with good health, cheer and a beautiful mind. Now coming to you. Hats-off to you for the touching and wonderful celebration at the orphanage! You have written so beautifully Lata. One cannot help but be moved and touched to the core. By no stretch of imagination do you come across as boasting or bragging. So please don’t worry about it. I am so glad that you wrote about it in such great detail. We all sort of know and have heard about the state of these kids. But to get first hand description from you brought their plight into limelight from much close quarters. You have such a compassionate heart. I am sure people close to you are really blessed to have you around. Lovely gesture of celebrating the day at the orphanage and an even lovelier gesture of sharing it with all of us here. Keep it up dear friend! SS |

| Dear Lata, My belated Wishes to Kutty Krishna... Wishing him all the Happiness and Good health in his life ahead.. Your trip to the orphanage was a wonderful gesture on Krishna's Birthday! You are a nice mother! I am really moved by the write up about your trip and no wonder it brought tears on reading the emotions of the kids there. Thank you for the contact details of "Good Life Centre". Regards Priya |
