On 17.06.2023 the children in Janani home were taken for a one-day trip to the Aringar Anna Zoological Park. We began our travel at 7 am. The children were accompanied by the Founder and staff of Janani home. It was an exciting trip for the children. We reached the zoo at 10 am. The children were able to watch different kinds of animals and birds. It was a vast area and we had to walk a long distance. It was an informative and refreshing trip. After visiting the zoo, the team headed to Mahabalipuram. It was quite interesting to see Shore Temple and Monuments.
