They were hoping to meet and the poor children (about 130 in number) with some material needs.

The HAPC team took towels for each one of them.  As all the children live together in the orphanage, they were also presented with basket ball sets,  carrom board,  badminton rackets and extra shuttle cocks, cricket bats and extra balls, snakes and ladders, drafts etc. etc.
