Miles of Smiles 5.0 - Phase 01   Children in orphanages are typically those who have lost one or both parents and don't have any other family members available or willing to care for them. For children facing adversity and loss, books can serve as companions, offering solace, comfort, and a means of escape. They can find relatable characters, stories of resilience, and guidance through challenging situations within the pages of a book. Giving books to these curious young brains is more than just being kind; it creates an environment that encourages creativity, self-determination, and transformation. We are thrilled to announce that our book donation was held on the 3rd of January 2024, in “ Sri Sangamitta Girls Child Development Center, Pamankada” and we believe that it will benefit a lot to those bright and young beautiful flowers. We made this book donation as the first phase – “ Suraki Sinaha” of our project “ Miles of Smiles 5.0” which is done for the 5 th time. After dec
