## CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 

The Covid pandemic necessitated an evaluation of the role of Goodwill in Tamil Nadu. We are a small charity and so able to be receptive to the needs of the communities we are trying to support. It was obvious during the pandemic that it made sense to move as many children as possible out of the homes to supportive environments within their original communities and look after them there. We were able to provide medical care, health advice and basic schooling; and to support ‘catch-up’ initiatives. The success of these programmes has encouraged us to work with our partners in India to re-examine our strategy: what are the specific needs of the young people we are trying to help and what is the best way to address those needs? This has led to increased support for outreach programmes and, as a consequence, fewer children have been admitted back into our homes. The current situation makes fundraising challenging and we are keen to ensure that we have an appropriate and up-to-date vision for the charity which allows us to maximise the use of our resources to genuinely impact the lives of young people in tribal communities. 

It is imperative that we continue to manage our resources with great care to ensure that we can continue our work now and in the future. This is a key focus of the trustees. Thank you to our funders and supporters whose vital support kept us going, and to all our volunteers, the trustees and staff in the UK and India for your commitment to making a difference. I know that whatever the future brings, together we will be there for the children who need us.

## CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 

Together with the rest of the Trustees, I am committed to ensuring that this good work continues. Goodwill is a family; by working together we will ensure a brighter future for all destitute children in Tamil Nadu. We will keep striving for positive change. We are always so very grateful for the astonishing kindness and generosity of the British public, who share our passion to change young lives for the better and bring happiness to children. Life is currently very tough for those already facing disadvantages, but with your continued support, we will help these children and young people through these challenging times.

## REPORT FROM INDIA 

History has shown that pandemics and wars have left many children in crisis. Governments and philanthropic individuals started residential children's homes to care for the children who had lost their parents or those who were in distress due to poverty and destitution. The Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war have ushered in a period of uncertainty during the year 2021-22. It has brought about serious challenges in the field of education as the Covid-19 pandemic has kept most children away from schools for more than 18 months. The impact of the pandemic on society at large will be affecting the future of children especially those from vulnerable families. The Government policies and social work practitioners echo the need for deinstitutionalising children from residential children’s homes. But the situation after the pandemic highlights the need for childcare institutions as most poor families have suffered due to various health issues and due to the worsening economic scenario following the devastating waves of Covid-19 and the developments due to ongoing war. 

The increasing distress in families due to the economic and other impacts of the pandemic has psychologically affected the children and, in many cases, has led to child labour as well. Goodwill Children’s Homes in India faced a challenge in  202122 when the schools and the homes reopened after closure for over 18 months.

## REPORT FROM INDIA 

The Government of India has amended the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act which enables more restrictions on Non-Governmental Organisations receiving funds from abroad. The Government department overseeing Childcare Institutions has started enforcement of the Rules and Regulations as per the Juvenile Justice Act of 2016. To ensure the safeguarding of children in institutionalised childcare, the Government authorities started insisting on built-in space and appointment of staff as prescribed by law. There is a noticeable change in the policy enforcement situation, and it would ultimately benefit the children. 

Goodwill Children’s Homes completed 48 years of dedicated service to destitute children and steps into the new academic year with the continued success of children in its different forms of childcare. The generous support of the sponsors of Goodwill across the United Kingdom, France and India helped Goodwill Children's Homes (GCH) face the challenges and extend a helping hand to children in need of care and protection. We thank all our sponsors and supporters in the United Kingdom, France, and India for pouring light on the lives of hundreds of children coming from distressed family environments in Tamil Nadu, India. 





## OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITIES IN 2021-22 

During the year under review, Goodwill Children’s Homes provided residential care and support to 192 children in all three residential homes. Thirty-eight youngsters are receiving support to continue one or other higher study courses in colleges or other institutions. The Tribal Outreach Programme (TORP) supported 297 children in a Community-Based Childcare format from the 25 odd tribal hamlets spread across the Lower Palani Hills region. In total, Goodwill directly supported 527 children during this period. New Admissions 

Due to the continued closure of schools because of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, there were only 28 applications seeking admission into our Children’s Homes. As there was uncertainty about when schools would be reopening, Goodwill Children's Homes did not admit any new children. during the academic year 2021-22. For the first time in the 48year history of Goodwill, there was no new intake during the year.

## REPORT FROM INDIA 

Higher Education 

At the beginning of 2021-22, GCHCS has been supporting 45 youngsters to continue with higher education. We are glad to inform you that 18 youngsters completed different higher study courses by the end of August 2021. Most of the examinations that were scheduled from April to July 2021 were cancelled except for the final-year student exams. The final-year students wrote their examinations mostly online during July 2021 and completed their courses successfully. All our children in classes 10 and 12 have passed with good marks. Our secretary and the treasurer met the 12th-standard students on 27th July 2021 and discussed the possibilities of supporting their higher education. Goodwill admitted 12 youngsters into different higher education courses during the year and there are altogether 39 youngsters doing their higher study courses as of May 2022. Eleven youngsters will be completing their courses in July/August 2022.  GCH expects to admit 10 more youngsters who have completed their final year in June 2022 into higher/vocational education courses. The highlight of the year will be the first engineer of Kallakinaru village. Soundrarajan completed his Engineering course in May 2022. He is the first engineer from this region and GCH is proud to have supported his education and for being instrumental in bringing about the first engineer of the Kallakinaru tribal village. Muthulakshmi completed her BSc degree in Chemistry and got a job offer in Chennai. GCH is waiting for employment-related information from all the 11 youngsters who are completing their courses in July/August 2022. 




## REPORT FROM INDIA 

A Charitable Trust from the United Kingdom funded the expenses of the Goodwill youngsters doing higher educational courses. We wholeheartedly thank the trustees and supporters of the Trust for the valuable assistance provided to our young people to continue their higher education. Ten children in GCH have just completed their final school year at the end of the 2021-22 academic year. GCH hopes to support all these youngsters to continue one or other higher educational/vocational courses in the new academic year. Achievements 

All 10 children (6 girls & 4 boys) who wrote the final school examination (12th class) have passed and they are all looking out for higher education or vocational training courses. Keerthiga from PVP Girls' home scored 443 out of 600 and came first among the Goodwill children. All the 22 children (14 girls & 8 boys) in class ten have also passed their state-level Board examinations. Thulasi from PVP Home has scored 429 out of 500 marks and stands first amongst the Goodwill children. They will now select their area of studies like science, commerce, mathematics, or vocational education in their twoyear higher secondary course. Some of the 10th-class students might be joining industrial training or polytechnic courses. Nine girls from PVP Home received various prizes and merit certificates during the last School Annual Day celebrations of NSVV Girls Higher Secondary School at Pattiveeranpatti. Priyadharshini and her teammates Anisha and Keerthana won the volleyball match in the Block level inter-school competitions and received special recognition and a certificate. 




## REPORT FROM INDIA 

Dharini and Suguna came first and second in the 200-meter race and got a prize and certificate. Pandiselvi secured first prize in the javelin competition. Five girls from our PVP home qualified to write the National Merit Scholarship examination and Raja Gowri has been selected for this merit scholarship in April 2022. She will be getting a stipend from class 11 until she completes her doctorate in any of the fields she prefers to study. 

Goodwill girl participates in National Games in New Delhi Veeralakshmi joined Goodwill when she started her 12th class in 2020. She is from a very poor family. Her father is a sick man, unable to work and the family is run with the meagre income earned by the mother.

Veeralakshmi and her team qualified to represent Tamil Nadu in the National level competitions held in New Delhi. She played for the Tamil Nadu team and the Tamil Nadu team secured the national title. Goodwill is proud of Veeralakshmi's success in the National level Handball competitions. Peace Education through Art Therapy at Goodwill Homes The Covid-19 pandemic rapidly swept across the world and produced a considerable degree of fear, worry and concern amongst people in the larger society. Many children and young people experience loneliness during the lockdowns as they 




## REPORT FROM INDIA 

could not meet and chat with their friends, families, and peers. As lockdown measures began to ease, many children and young people have experienced worries and distress about their education and about returning to school. Peace Education is the process of acquiring values, knowledge, attitude, skills, and behaviours to live in harmony with oneself, others, and the natural environment. Art Therapy stimulates imagination and creativity, develops healthy copingup skills, and increases self-confidence. Three workshops were organised on weekends in April and May 2022 at Pattiveeranpatti, Thandigudi and Sanarpatti Goodwill Homes. The Keithan Sathya Trust at Ottanchatram funded the Art Therapy Workshops and these were organised by Dr L Raja and Dr R Kalpana from the Department of Lifelong Learning and Extension, Gandhigram Rural Institute (Deemed to be University), Gandhigram. Mrs Kalyani from Madurai was the facilitator for all three workshops. All the children at Goodwill Homes enjoyed these workshops by expressing their minds through drawing and colouring in. Community-Based Childcare (TORP Programme) Goodwill Children's Homes is working for the development of indigenous tribal communities living across the Lower Palani Hill areas in Tamil Nadu. The Tribal Outreach Programme (TORP) of Goodwill Children’s Homes covers 25 tribal villages. It has been implementing various schemes to improve the retention of children in remote tribal schools by addressing the factors that contribute to the poor state of education in this region. Lack of education is the main cause of the high levels of poverty in the region. 




## REPORT FROM INDIA 

Incentives such as uniforms for children, school bags, sweaters and rain cover for the winter season help to encourage regular school attendance of children in schools. 

GCH supported 278 tribal children studying in 12 Government schools in the project area. Further, there are 12 children (1 boy and 11 girls) studying at other schools outside the TORP project area, and 7 other youngsters from the tribal communities in Higher Education who are all assisted in the programme. Altogether 297 children are supported in the community-based childcare programme of Goodwill Children’s Homes under the banner Tribal Outreach Programme (TORP). The focus of the GCH TORP is improving retention in remote tribal schools and promoting education amongst the tribal communities. It is a process of social change. It needs a long and sustained effort by all the stakeholders to realize this huge social change in a society that has been ignored for centuries. Though the efforts of GCH are simple and with limited financial and human resources, one could see a perceptible positive impact amongst the people of the indigenous tribal communities. 

Eye Camp for Tribal Villages Our Goodwill TORP programme conducted an Eye camp for the villagers of the TORP Programme area. A team of doctors from the Aravind Eye Hospital at Theni came to do the checkups. There were altogether 193 persons from the villages who had their eyes checked. The doctors identified 39 persons who required cataract surgery and they were all enrolled for free surgery at the Aravind Eye Hospital. 




## REPORT FROM INDIA 

They also distributed free spectacles to 85 persons who had a problem with their eyes. It was a great success with so many persons attending the camp and as many as 125 people getting either free cataract surgery or free eyeglasses. Camp for Hearing Impaired 

GCH TORP organised a free Hearing Aid Camp along with NIEPMD (National Institute for Empowerment of Persons with Multiple Disabilities), Chennai and KC Patti Primary Health Centre on 15th February 2022. Villagers from the 25 nearby tribal hamlets utilized the opportunity to get free hearing aids after medical examinations by the team from NIEPMD. Seventy-eight persons (47 male and 30 female and one child) from the tribal villages were given a free hearing aid. Altogether 99 people came for the check-up and all of them were given free medicine and face masks. Employment Oriented Training 

Four youngsters from the tribal hamlets have been selected for employment cum training at Yamaha Motors Ltd, Chennai in 2019. They were placed in the Yamaha training academy at Chennai and Hosur. All four youngsters received a monthly stipend of Rs. 12,000/plus free boarding and accommodation. After completing their 3rd year of training, they are now employed by the Yamaha Motor Company with good salaries and perks. This laudable action has been facilitated by Gandhigram University through Dr L. Raja. We look forward to sending more youth from the tribal hamlets for employment-oriented training courses as a measure to alleviate poverty. 




## REPORT FROM INDIA 

School Support Programme One of the major impacts of this project is the initiation of community organisations. The traditional leaders of the tribal communities have started talking about the issues that lead to children discontinuing school. They are taking efforts to organise people to address these issues collectively. The rate of school dropouts has vastly been contained. There is a significant 93 % retention of children in the tribal schools. The appointment of educated women from the local tribal hamlets as supplementary teachers in the Government schools has instilled confidence amongst the tribal children. They confidently meet the teacher whom they knew before and think they have a person who could understand them better. The number of long absentees from schools especially during the monsoon season has remarkably declined over the years. The provision of many useful sweaters and rain covers and the influence of the locally appointed supplementary teachers have made this change possible. Goodwill’s Tribal Outreach Programme (TORP) distributed uniforms, notebooks, and school bags to 278 children at various government schools, in and around the K.C. Patti area. After the long break from school, the children came to school with new expectations, and many were not interested in returning. Even parents were not interested in sending their children back to school which made it more difficult for staff to organise and motivate them. The new uniforms, notebooks and school bags helped persuade them to return to school. 




## REPORT FROM INDIA 

## Goodwill Primary School 

Goodwill Primary School is completing 28 years of service to the children by the end of the year 2022. The Silver Jubilee celebrations held in September 2019 brought together the old students from the school, Government officials and the supporters of GCH. 

Due to Covid-19, Goodwill has not admitted any new children for the last two years. There used to be a strength of about 100 students for most of these 48 years. There are 16 students in class 5, fifteen children in class 4 and another 13 children in Class 3. Impacted by the Covid-19 closures, Goodwill Primary school had only 44 children during the year in review. Five teachers including the Headmistress are teaching at the school. 

Extra care and practice were given to the slow learners as compared to their peers. Due to the 18-month-long break; students experienced quite a few learning difficulties. Teachers took extra classes for the slow learners. The teachers utilized some of their time to find simple ways of helping these slow learners to study more easily and simply. They set mock tests for the learners and gave them simple home assignments which were interesting and related to the lessons completed inside the classroom. 

Celebrations 

The 74th Independence Day was celebrated in all our children’s homes as the schools remained closed due to the second wave of Covid-19. Dipawali festival was celebrated in all our homes with sweets and the bursting of crackers on 4th November 2021. 




## REPORT FROM INDIA 

We celebrated Christmas at all our children’s homes in December 2021. Pattiveeranpatti girls’ home and the Sanarpatti boys’ home celebrated Christmas with lots of cultural events on stage on the 11th and 18th of December, respectively. Christmas celebration at Thandigudi home was celebrated on 21st December. The nativity drama enacted by the children of the PVP home was one of the highlights of the celebrations. Christmas cakes and a sumptuous lunch were part of the celebration.

The Covid pandemic necessltèted an evaluation of the role of GotKlwlll in Tamll Nadu. We are a small charity arml so able to be
receptive to Ihe needs of the communities we are trylng to support. It was obvious during the pandemic that it made sense lo
move as many chlldren ￿ posslble out of the homes to supportive environments wIth￿￿ their origlnal communibe5 and look aftei
them there. We were abte to provide medical ca￿, health advlce and basic schooling- and to 5UPPOrt'catch up, initiatives. The
success of these programmes has encouraged us to work with our partner5 In India to r&exarnine our strategy.. what are the
5pecifK needs ol the young people we aTe trying to help and what is the b￿t way to addiess those needs? This ha5 led to
increased support for outreach programmes and, as a consequence, fewer children have been admitted back into our homes. The
current situation makes fundraising challenging and we are keen to ensure that we have an approprlate and up to dale vision for
the charity which allows us lo maximlse the use ol our resources to genulndy irnpact on the live5 of yotsng people in tribal
communlties.
It is imperative that we continue to tnanage our resources with great care to ensure that we can contin(Je our work now and in the
ILJture. This is a key focus ol the trustees. Thank you to our fvnders and sUPPOrters whose vital support kept us golng. and to all
our volunteers, the rrustees and staff in the UK and India for your commltment to maklng a dIfferen￿. I know that whatever the
future brlngs, together we wlll be there for the chlldren need u
Together wlth the rest of the Trustees, l am committed to ensurlng that th15 good work continues. G¢y)dwlll Is a famlly,. by working
together we wlll ensure a brtghter future for all destltute childrèn in Tamll Nadu. We wlll keep striving lor positive change. We are
always so very grateful for the astonishing kindness and generosity of the British public, who share our passlon to change young
