Orphanage

On 20/7/18 students of Hindustan International School, Karapakkam visited the orphanage at St.Thomas Mount.

The moment you enter the orphanage, you tend to feel both happy and sad at the same time when you see children playing, fighting with each other, crying, laughing, cribbing about certain things (like who’s better: guys or girls?), dancing, and so on.

Hindustan children sang few songs and made the children to sing and dance along with them.

These children are really talented, some of them good at singing.

It is unfortunate how these children are in a ripe age but have already lost a significant part of their childhood. They had no one to give them a name, no one to understand and care for them, no one to take them out, and no opportunity to go to school.

Visiting the orphanage is a life-changing experience and you start appreciating the little things in life when you see people who don’t have them. Only at such times do you tide over the insignificant and immaterial things and appreciate the bigger picture.

We are sure that this visit will help our children to become more sensitive and better human beings who have a genuine concern for everyone around them.
