45 HIV positive children abandoned by their families have found a home in the "Shelter Trust" run by a man named Solomon Raj. Raj claims that good work gives him great satisfaction, especially when these children refer him as ‘Appa’. In the shelter home, the needy are provided with every facility ranging from education, medical care, training in crafts, arts, dance and working knowledge of computers etc. Many of them have been enrolled in Class XI and Class XII and seven of them even pursuing their graduation in various streams. While speaking to ANI, Solomon said, “I was inspired to help the HIV positive children as even after 8 years into my marriage I had no child and he wanted to adopt an HIV positive child who is in need. These children are the innocent victims of someone else's fault. I’ve become ‘appa’ for 45 children. It's big responsibility to take care of all the needs of these children.”
