Daily Schedule
The residential children rise at six in the morning. For the next one hour, they clean the entire center, bathe, and dress. Thereafter, they sit for the morning study period until breakfast. A special tuition and coaching teacher has been appointed to supervise their homework and study periods in both the mornings and evenings. After breakfast, the above 10th class/grade children start to leave the center to attend classes in various higher educational institutes throughout the city. At the same time, the school children start arriving to attend classes in the high school. The school children are provided with free transportation, education, textbooks, notebooks, school supplies, midday meals, medical care, school uniforms, and clothing.
After school, the children participate in sports, games, exercise, and gardening for their physical fitness until the evening study period. Before the evening study period starts, the children bathe, wash clothes, and dress. Then evening study period goes on until dinner. After dinner, the children clean the dining hall and prepare for sleep. The older students are permitted to study in a separate study area after dinner while the younger children must sleep. The holiday schedule, of course, will be much different.
Child Aid Foundation makes every arrangement for the complete overall development of the children. Child Aid Foundation is also arranging computer education for any children under its care who are interested in learning.
