Greetings to one and all from me and my entire team at CCOT. I have been leading this trust since June 2021. The last two years have been difficult due to the Corona Pandemic. As the occupancy at the Homes was affected, we had very limited programmes for the children of the 11 Homes under us. However, we did have some of our activities for the children albeit not as usual due to lesser attendance. The Talent Ease program continued at Asha Deep, RTC, Good Shepherd Girls albeit not in its full form due to lesser attendance. The other major program “Christmas Fun Day” was celebrated to the best possible way despite the pandemic. Unlike yester years we took the program to each home. We distributed goodie bags with lot of goodies sponsored by Himalaya, Britannia, ITC and Gangotri, besides giving them a meal of Biryani and Kabab. The most favourite part of the program which is Ice- cream distribution didn’t happened due to logistic issue. However, Corner House graciously donated in cash. All our activities were possible due to the help and generosity of:
