SOCARE - a primer

Mr. Mani, a retired bank employee, who hails from a ordinary lower mid-income background, grew up with good morals and values building a strong foundation in life. While cycling to work everyday he used to pass by the Bangalore Central Jail.

He has observed children crying outside the jail with the breadwinner of the family in the prison - the kids of life-convicts who had no support from the society. These kids were a burden to the society. Before retirement he decided to contribute towards making life better for these children in our society.

With the help and encouragement of his supportive wife, Mrs. Saroji Mani, Socare Ind was born in June 1999. They decided to give his retirement money and all their life earnings for this valuable cause. His dream has come to reality and we have the opportunity to be a part of this noble cause. please visit http://www.socare.org/

This is my small attempt to share my thoughts, experiences and emotions as I share my life with these kids day in and day out.
