Good Samaritan & VSS Supporter on Chavadi's New Home

Friends, 

Few Good Samaritans and VSS Supporters visited the new home for children in Ibrahimpatnam and the reactions are:

"It's always made me happy every time I went to see Chavadi kids but this time I was damn happy don't is it because of visiting them after long time or seeing kids happy or it's new place effect. Whatever it was they made my day...:) spent sometime n had lunch with them. New place has 2 medium sized rooms on 1st floor for kids to stay n sleep. Their school was walkable distance from home. Owners were on ground floor. There was plenty of open space to play in front of home, full greenery and water, 300+ yrs old small shiva temple adjacent to home and 4 white dogs :)

Kids even kept small Ganesh Idol nearby along with few other children.  Overall, kids were happy and most of them liked this new place. But what they missed most is people who used visit them in gachibowli. It's been ard 3 months they moved in here but they said hardly anyone came to see them.

I know it's little far but please plan once in a while to see these kids. They miss u all so much."
