Goodwill children's home

Goodwill Children's Homes is a UK registered charity that provides
long term care and education for destitute children in Pattiveeranpatti.
Goodwill Children's Homes was founded in 1974 following a visit to
Southern India by a schoolteacher from England. Whilst in the Palani
Hills of Tamil Nadu, he saw such extreme poverty and such ignorance
that he decided to change things, beginning with his life. Thus
ended his teaching career.
With local support he was able to clear some land and erect simple
buildings (huts) on a hillside. For a while this modest facility was
home to some twelve destitute children. Once the charity was
properly established in the UK he started serious fundraising and
within a year or two raised sufficient funds to purchase land and
build a proper home for the care of more children. Pattiveeranpatti
Home was set up in 1994 to provide a residence for the senior girls
