Boys Town - Our Program

We have developed weekend programming to enhance the all-around development of the boys, carried out by our own staff. The boys meditate twice daily and use Dr. Baskaran Pallai's Self-Improvement Techniques to develop their powers of mental concentration and sharpen their intelligence.

Food & Housing
We moved these boys to the Rotary Club's Boystown facility in Selaiyur and are providing for their food, shelter, clothing, education and medical care. The boys are receiving egg on a daily basis and chicken 4 times a week to strengthen their bodies.

Tutoring
The boys are tutored every weekend to elevate their academic performance. Instruction is organized so that the boys work in small groups and the fast learners have the leadership opportunity to teach the slower learners. In just a few years, many of our boys who were academically failing or simply average are amongst the top rank-holders in their class.

Activities
We organize extracurricular activities to develop their self-confidence through new skills and abilities. For example, the boys were trained to put on their own talent show, and they have continued to develop their artistic and creative abilities through regular performances for foreign visitors. The boys are also taught crafts like book-binding and creating greeting cards from raw materials in the environment. The ambitious boys began taking orders for book-binding from their classmates in school. There are 4 computers in the building. We are giving training in computers on a weekly basis. They often take on service projects so they can learn the importance of giving to others less fortunate than them.
