The children sang songs and put their heads together on to puzzles after having enjoyed the music played by a Wipro-ite.

Providing them food, shelter, education, medical aid and clothing with the support of volunteers. The centre solely depends on public donations to feed the children, lack of funding for basic medicine, hygiene, rehabilitation and education. They deserve the opportunity to go to school, have access to clean water, nutritional food, basic medical care and shelter. In order to provide the basic facilities for the children in a quality environment, Good Life decided to have their own building on the piece of land. In Jan'2006, the Boomi Pooja function was held to mark the construction of Children's Home building; work is begun with the help of major donations received through Hon'ble High Court of Chennai and from good hearted well-wishers.
