CLOTHES to ALL 19 CHILDREN at ORPHANAGE

On 16-04-2008, Mission5 provided a set of clothes each to all 19 children at Kannada Adarsha Mahila Sanstha, Parvati Nagar.




The idea was to provide all children clothes of a common colour so that they can be recognized as children from under one roof..

Vireesh, the boy sitting in colour dress, fractured his arm on the 15th, so he is not wearing the dress given by us...
