Nuns used to display the orphans to obtain funds and favour

These are just a few of the 2,000 plus visitors that came to look at Missionaries of Charity Shishu Bavan home in Royapuram in Chennai South India. It was very stressful at times for some children who thought they might be adopted and others used to cower in fear. But one and all of the visitors used to donate money after their fly thru visit. These girls put together and donated a fidge for Christmas 1999 but it disappeared because I visited the kitchen often to try to find [almost always unsuccessful] unlocked food for hungry toddlers. Perhaps the nuns sold it.... who knows - they kept no proper account of donations and where they are used....
