Social Trek/24 - Dec 26 - Prema Vasam
As a part of 'Trek with a cause' initiatives of CTC, we are organizing a kids' trek on Sunday, Dec 26, 2010. The objective of this 1day trek is to take out 30 kids from Prema Vasam, Porur to Nagalapuram and provide them a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Agenda
Participants will spend an entire day with the kids in the beautiful surroundings of Nagalapuram. Participation fees are Rs.500/- which includes sharing the cost of transportation and food for both participants and kids. Only those who are interested to spend time with the kids should sign up.

Participants will assemble on Sunday early morning at the usual pick up points in Chennai, in parallel we will pick up the kids from the orphanage in Tambaram and proceed together to Nagalapuram, 2 hours North of Chennai. We will walk with and guide the kids along a crystal clear water stream in beautiful natural surroundings. Participants will play with kids in the beautiful pools and waterfalls. We will have breakfast and lunch along the way and return to Chennai by evening around 8pm. Focus should be on interaction with and safety of the children.
