* The volunteers will be working as a part-time employee for this project. The volunteers will study about the backgrounds/family situation of every children enrolled and will also find the requirements and special needs with respect to their studies and overall growth of the children. Based on this study, the volunteers will act during the project tenure and support/guide the children to overcome the obstacles which distract/stop their growth.

* The SDC will be conducted from 5PM to 7PM at the St.Antony’s church campus, Manapakkam, Chennai, India. The SDC will be conducted on all days except on Sunday. On Sunday’s the interested children will attend in the Catechism classes from 9 AM to 10.30 AM.
