Our team visited one of the well-known orphanages, Nesam Illam on 18th March, 2012.
The orphanage is located at Valasaravakkam, Chennai. There were about 18 children in the age group of 2 to 14. Mr. Paul takes care of these kids. We had decided to conduct Medical camp for the kids in that home. Apart from General checkup, we had also planned for dental checkup for those kids. We all gathered there around 10’o clock in the morning… (It seems like too early as it is Sunday J).  |

Ms. Jessita Veeramallu offered training to orphanage warden to stitch some small items such as pouches, hand-craft embroidery, etc. which can be taught to those kids in future. Some of our volunteers got mobile pouches and some people ordered too to encourage her. The warden is taking care of the kids during week-ends as she is working as a tailor in a garment shop during the rest of the week. One granny is taking care of those kids during weekdays.
Doctors arrived and the medical checkup started. Meanwhile we had arranged for the drawing competition and games that was likely to be held up in the afternoon session.
Both doctors gave the report that the children are physically good. After the medical camp, we conducted drawing competition and some games for the kids. Also the children were trained on some handicraft work with thermocol sheets. After spending some quality time with the kids we had cake cutting and distribution of chocolates and snacks.
We distributed prize for the drawing competition and also gifts to the kids. The children in the nearby area also participated in the games and competition. We all had a photo session with our team and enjoyed the day with lot of satisfaction and happiness.
