From "India Abroad " article

.....Robert Nelder and Peter Lakin, retired schoolteachers, who have a Toronto-based support group that raises funds for the Sri Kanyakumari Gurukula Ashram near Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, India.

Lakin said India lacks sufficient resources for the development of orphan or destitute children.

"There’s no infrastructure in terms of their physical development, in terms of their education, in terms of their becoming adults," he said.

Lakin added that the Gurukula Ashram helps meet the needs of such orphans or destitute children.

"Its goals are to meet the daily needs of the children, to provide adequate education and medical care," he said.
