The Origin

We had visited Udhavum Ullangal Illam (Old Age & Children’s Home) situated near Singaperumal Koil on 31^st May 2009. We provided School Fees, Uniforms, Bags, Shoes, Chappals for 34 Children and Medicines, Health Food & Drinks for 28 Old Aged Women. We also provided Cooking Oil, Special Lunch, Ice Creams, Sweets, Savories, Biscuits, Chocolates for all the inmates of the home. We also entertained them by conducting various games like Drawing Competition, Balloon Bursting Competition, Anthakshari, Hide & Seek Games for Children and Ball Pass Game for Elders. It was real fun and they said, that was one of the happiest day in their lives and they had never enjoyed this much. We were all really happy to hear these words from them especially since all the contributors & volunteers had taken these efforts only to make this a Special day for them.
