Singithi Sevana Children:
At present there are 32 children, both boys and girls aged 3-12 years and 3 older girls aged 13-14 years. These three girls continue to stay in the Home on a pilot project giving them the opportunity of an uninterrupted secondary school education. The children attend the local state school, Dharmasoka Vidyalaya which is about 1 km away from the Home and the nearby Dhaham Pasale (Temple Sunday School). The younger children attend a preschool conducted by a trained preschool teacher that is held within the Home premises. The children are given extra lessons in English, Math and Music.
