Doing It

Grow A Child

Sophie and Fannie take you inside the Deenabandhu Children's Home - an orphanage in Chamarajanagar, a rural district in Karnataka, South India. It's a unique place governed by a singular philosophy, that all children should be treated as whole people. Deenabandhu raises orphaned and destitute children and also invites poor children from the surrounding neighborhoods to go to school there. Many children arrive at Deenabandhu malnourished and sick, but once inside are fed, clothed, and raised in a positive environment thanks to generous sponsorships mostly from people they've never met. In addition to encouraging the kids in academics, the abiding goal is to teach the kids life-skills in the hope they will return to their communities as responsible adults. Music by Noah Thorp.
