“What is that you want to become in future?
”Kiran Bedi” pat came the reply from an 8th standard girl of our vaidehi Ashram. “Yes I am convinced of your work that could make a destitute girl dream of it” was the response from Sri Vinod Prakash, President IDRF (an American based NGO)
“Ha ha” are the words that come from a dumb boy of our Sangamitra Awasam when he saw a mother to care for him. Yes Sangamithra can make a dumb boy’s heart speak. Intense love is the basis of our affection homes.
“I just made a first attempt and I got to it.” A tribal boy’s ( Ekalavya Awasam) excited reaction to his achievement in long jump in the south India’s sports competition conducted for Saraswati Vidhyapeetam schools. You lend a hand he/she can raise to great heights.
“I am here to play the role of a father for this girl’s marriage” Yes that day is a golden day for an orphan when an industrialist, performed the marriage of a girl of our affection home (VAIDEHI ASHRAM).
“Take my 2 acres of land. I am fortunate to give it to a noble cause” is the inspiring act of a marginal farmer donating his land worth 2 Lakhs in Mancherial town that has resulted in Ekalavya Awasam sheltering 60 tribal children.
The staff of Andhra Bank of Kurnool donating thousands of rupees for the last three years to Annapurnamma hostel of Kurnool shows their concern for affection homes. A poor barber volunteering to do his job freely for our children really proves how people show their concern and contribute their mile.

Some of the affection homes are:
Vatsalya Sindhu Malkajgiri Hyd (27 destitute children)
Vaidehi Ashram Saidabad Hyd(52 destitute girls)
BhaktaKannappa Awasam GOKAVARAM(43 chenchu children)

Valmiki Awasam Jagtial Karimnagar(38 Sc children)
Ekalavya Awasam Mancherial Adilabad(57 tribal children)

We light a lamp gap in the life of an orphaned child and we can see the light in our inner self. .
