Yesterday's event with St. Angel's Heavenly Choir was a grand success! Featuring a program with the children and their songs, followed by fire-dancers, jugglers and musicians, the total flow of people attending the event was close to a thousand.

A blazing success with a mere four days of active work and two days of advertising, the event with good media presence was a wonderful pilot for raising awareness on the orphanage. Detailed news with photos and videos will be made available momentarily.

A huge thank you to everyone participating in spirit and on the spot — it was wonderful! We love you, folks!
