As member of Community Service Council in HCL went to Orphanage near Avadi area in north Chennai to distribute clothes( donated by HCLites) and footwear(new) to the kids (43) . Also distributed soaps,biscuits and chocolates to all. It was good to see the kids and spend some time with them. The orphanage needs a lot more funding than currently available for taking care of all kids. The lady incharge was a nice and humble person but at times looked to be too harsh on kids. The kids age ranged from 1year to 12 years roughly. I had company of 3 company colleagues who are much actively in these initiatives than myself. Some were too naughty to control and some were too silent not willing to speak at all. Not knowing the local language (tamil) was another barrier in actively involving with the kids but that didnt hamper much...we still conversed with the help of other colleagues.
