SEED provides boarding, lodging, clothing and education of 271 children in age range of 3 to 18 years. The orphanage provides both standard education and vocational training.

We started the day with prayer.  The children of the orphanage prayed for us and for our institution and sang few beautiful songs.  After the prayer we all introduced ourselves to them and we personally interacted with them individually.  After the interaction session, we started entertaining them by playing few games with them, singing songs with them, and played music for them to dance and ultimately we made them happy forgetting all the problems they faced in their life.  They all enjoyed the day with us.

At 12:30 pm, our children served lunch and we all had lunch with them. Around 1:30 pm, we started from SEED Orphanage and reached our school by 3:00 pm. We all really had a different experience after that visit with peace completely filled in our minds.
