The Experience

This Orphanage is dedicated to offering a home for some of the many street children in Kolkata. The children attend an English Primary School Monday through Friday, with additional tutorials in the evening, where the boys can study and work on homework. The children have formed a close-knit loving family and have adjusted well to school, as well as maintaining high standards and good discipline.
