FFC Baby Room

Families for Children India is home to up to 40 babies under 18 months at any one time. They come to us for various reasons and from many different places.
We are fortunate to be able to feed our young babies goat milk which is tolerated well by even newborns and minimizes allergies and other illnesses.
The goat milk is produced at FFC at our goat farm.
We have a dedicated staff of caretakers who look after the FFC babies as they would their own children. Many have been with us since FFC India began in 1978.

They boys participated in a football camp that required them to practice everyday for 4 hours. They played against other teams around Coimbatore and our senior team won 1 game and lost 1 game. They won 8 to 0 in the first game and lost 0 to 3 in the second game...which was semi finals. They were supposed to play another team but that team did not show up to play.
Our junior team did not win any games. They played two times and both games neither team scored a point. It was so cute to watch them run after the ball.
FFC conducted the awards ceremony and handed out metals to all of the teams. Our senior team took 3rd place!
