Later in the day we had lunch with the kids at the orphanage.

After a brief discussion on the importance of the day (26th January) to MISSION 5 - the day the efforts of this youth campaign was hailed as one of the CITIZEN HERO INITIATIVES from across India, and telecast on CNN IBN on Jan 26, 2008.
