Emmanuel Christian Fellowship
Orphanage
There are three specific areas of work, (i)The boy's orphanage, (ii) the girl's orphanage and (iii) the Mission School
	This is the new orphanage building, which has been built at Panvel, on the outskirts of Bombay. It will replace the original orphanage in the locality of Baiganwadi. The orphanage will accommodate both boys and girls. This building will include a dormitory for the boys and there will be a second building with a dormitory to accommodate the girls. The building is in a beautiful location, with hills and mountains near by, far away from the Bombay traffic and pollution. It will have a large dining room, which will be used for a number of purposes, such as prayer, assemblies, meetings and other activities.
They have just initiated gardening and poultry farming, to help the children learn and for them to get involved in their leisure time. They have acquired some land close to the orphanage to build a school. It will serve as a multipurpose building and vocational training institute for both the orphanage children and also the children from the local community.
	The orphanage is helping abandoned children in slum areas. They do their best to provide everything for the children. They aim to provide a home environment for the children and to give them some space, in which to play. In the Bombay orphanage, the children receive an education and care, but don't have a place to play. Due to the slum environment, the whole area is not conducive to providing a space for the children to do anything in their leisure time.
	This building under construction will be used as a workshop to teach the children skill developing courses like IT, carpentry, joinery and other skills. It is then hoped that when the children are old enough to leave the orphanage, they will have acquired skills and certificates to enable them to find employment. At the moment the building work has stopped due to a lack of funds.
