The Department of Civil Engineering organized a visit to the Child care center located in Hennur road, which is about 50 kms from Faculty of Engineering. The Center is under ‘Freedom Foundation’ which is an NGO run by Mr. Ashok Rau.We started from the campus on the late afternoon of a Saturday at 13:30. As we embarked upon this journey, we were on one hand excited and on the other hand curious to know these children.  As we reached, we saw many tiny smiling faces greet us. We met the Residential Councellor, Mr. Naveen who was stationed in the house 24/7 to take care of the children. We learnt about the functioning of the NGO and also how the children were taken care of. There are 14 children currently in the childcare centre, and all of them are AIDS affected children. They live on drugs every day, since their white blood cells or T-cells which provide immunity to the body are weakened by the HIV virus.  We began to interact with the children. First came in this little gi
