Education can improve the life of a household and help on making themselves aware and

mature. Child education is utmost important. One such opportunity the Rotaract club of SRM

Balaji and Poornima.

affection from the children and were excited seeing the basketballs, cricket bats

and balls, and they all got together and started their play.

they are no less.
