When we think of an orphanage, the first picture that comes to our mind is of lots and lots of children running around, playing with toys, busy in their own world. And that is what we expected while entering Uthavam Ullangal, a home for 40 orphan children.
We (FLORA) offered groceries worth Rs 5506 to the center, which would meet their grocery requirement for the whole month. They accepted our offerings with full gratitude and satisfaction. On 21st August, we reached Uthavam Ullangal by 3 pm, thinking we would be surrounded by cute kids, as it happened at Good Life Center last month.
But to our surprise the center was quite and calm, and the frolicking children were nowhere to be seen. The caretaker informed us that all of them are sleeping after lunch. We went inside a hall where we found the children knitting dreams of a better future.
And we wished may God fulfill their dreams.
