Annai Fathima Centre

On behalf of Seek Foundation we visited Annai Fathima Centre Orphanage on Dec 23^rd 2016. We reached the orphanage at 10.00 am with group of 6 students of Scouts and Guides.

The motto of the orphanage is to educate the children.  Many poor orphan children are educated in the Annai Fathima Center Orphanage.

We started the day with prayer.  Then we had a personal interaction with the children to know about the history of the children and present status.  After that the children prayed for our institution.  We explained the good deeds which are conducted by Seek Foundation. Finally, we distributed the gifts to the children and reached our school by 12.00 pm.

SEED ORPHANAGE

On 23-12-2016 a group of 6 students and 2 teachers of BHARATH SCOUTS AND GUIDES started from ST.BRITTO’S ACADEMY, Velachery at 8:30 am and reached SEED ORPHANAGE, which is situated at Sriperumbudur around 11:30 am.

 There we met children belonging to different age group. The aim of the orphanage is to educate children of prisoners, terminally-ill patients, murder victims, and prostitutes. SEED provides boarding, lodging, clothing and education of 271 children in age range of 3 to 18 years. The orphanage provides both standard education and vocational training.

We started the day with prayer.  The children of the orphanage prayed for us and for our institution and sang few beautiful songs.  After the prayer we all introduced ourselves to them and we personally interacted with them individually.  After the interaction session, we started entertaining them by playing few games with them, singing songs with them, and played music for them to dance and ultimately we made them happy forgetting all the problems they faced in their life.  They all enjoyed the day with us.

At 12:30 pm, our children served lunch and we all had lunch with them. Around 1:30 pm, we started from SEED Orphanage and reached our school by 3:00 pm. We all really had a different experience after that visit with peace completely filled in our minds.

Recently, December 2015 floods have left Tamil Nadu in want. It is a great responsibility of every citizen of Tamil Nadu to help rebuild the homes, by contributing to physical needs and providing psychological support.   Mrs. Vimala Britto has a vision to create a community that will contribute to its transformation by its positive influence, which was evident during the Chennai Floods. She led her staff and students to reach out to the homeless by providing food, clothing and shelter during their dire need. Seek Foundation donated a sum of Rs.38,000 for Dr. Sivakadatcham on November 25th. Our foundation helped in distributing food packets and releif materials in flood hit areas in Vyasarpadi on 28th November,2015.
