Cooking for more than 100 children and staff and seating them in comfort has became increasingly more difficult over the years. Those little six year olds we started with in 2005 are now strapping young men and the girls are elegant young women.
Over the years many children have been admitted from the five colonies Brighter Future cares for, as well as poor children from other backgrounds.
The only way to enlarge the kitchen was by increasing the length of the existing one and building upwards!
A two story building is rising over the space occupied by the former kitchen/dining area. It has been extended by removing the ancient neem tree and building over the shops (which Brighter Future owns on the roadside frontage of DMC House). Some of he over-the-shops rooms will provide much needed extra space for the office administration and staff. The upper floor will function as a study area. There will be a dedicated library and a special room in which 40 children will be able to give their own Powerpoint presentations and watch educational films.
For the last three months the cooking has been done at the Rainbow Boys' Home.
The reinforced beams of the upper floor are supported by wooden poles.
(The white buildings belong to a neighbouring school).

The second floor roofing slab of reinforced concrete is going to be done this week.
The work is expected to be finished by July.
Half the cost has been funded by an existing sponsor.
