Sri Charan and Myrtle's Project Co-ordinator Mr.David address to the curious Irula children of Attrambakkam

Corporate companies such as TCS (the group of 4 men, standing at the back) make their employees to involve themselves in social activities mandatorily. They were present too for planting trees.

When Sri Charan spoke to them about wanting some actors from the group, he was told that he himself looked like one.

Most of them seemed lost.

Mr.David expressed that a handful of them miss school. They were questioned about their favorite subjects and why some of them were not willing to go to school

All the kids were asked to look their best for the final group photo. They were taught to sit in a disciplined manner to have lunch.

What are kids without curiosity!

The egg biriyani bundles had arrived. None of them had washed their hands before sitting down to eat. They were made to form lines and wash hands with a soap before picking up their parcel from the bag. Quite a bunch of patient kids they were.

Some of them who couldn't finish their share were asked to share them with their family members.

Theirs is a community living. The adults take turns in raising each other's children for a stipulated period of time. The way all the domestic animals co-exist is a sight to watch a thing to learn.

Mr. Williams, the Project Director of Myrtle, entertained the kids with stories, morals and tamizh rhymes

The kids use a plastic bottle as a ball to play catch and throw.

The spot for the tree planting is getting ready. The women got the manure ready even without asking for it.

This kid was the most hyper one amongst the group. A very delightful one!

The much awaited group photo with all of them cracking up at the count of 3.

The children reacting to their own group photo in the camera.

Sri Charan and the kids inaugurated the tree planting initiation by planting the lemon tree.

The ecstatic kids waved us goodbye with loud cheers.

Attrambakkam is still untouched with infrastructural interference. Its frightening to predict that this sight would be replaced by concrete structures in no time.
