A three-storey home for children was inaugurated under
the aegis of the Seva Bharati, a non-governmental organisation, here on
Thursday
The orphanage christened Guruji Anbu Illam has been constructed at a cost of Rs.1.10 crore funded by the Gujarat Government.
Inaugurating
the home, Collector T. Munusamy lauded the works taken up by the Seva
Bharati in the reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of the tsunami
here in the district. The organisation has constructed
863 tsunami shelters in the district, and has also been engaged in the
conduct of medial camps, mobile libraries, and computer training
progammes.
The home would provide shelter for
children orphaned by the tsunami and also the orphaned children found in
villages of the district.
The occasion was attended by Muralidhara Rao, National Secretary, Bharatiya Janata Party among others.
At present, Sevabharathi runs six Anbu Illams for girls, five for boys and one for infants. Sevabharathi Tamilnadu provides shelter and care for needy children. These centres are called as Anbu Illams Abodes of Love and not as orphanages. Any visitor would be astonished to find that an Anbu Illam is only a big family and not a hostel or an orphanage. This is the unique approach of Sevabharathi towards homeless children. For more Info Click here
