On 29 December 2007, my friends organized a visit to DLS Vidyalaya at Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor. It was first time visit to Vidyalaya KKB. It was planned few months ago and carried out some work to find place and collect the fund. Basically the fund that collected used to buy the school uniforms, school bags, school shoes, stationeries and track suits. At the ashram, there are 14 children from standard 1 to form 4. The reason they are here because of orphanage and in some cases their parents can’t afford to look after them anymore.

We organizer had 11 of us, played some outdoor and indoor games and had a very good time to know about their backgrounds. We also had talking session with the Swami-Ji there, who is the Chairman of Vidyalaya. He told some of stories about the kids there.

Here are some photos, I would like to share.
