We recently were able to provide a Hearing Aid for a male adult who is DEAF & DUMB. After receiving a Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometric (BERA) Test from the Calcutta Hearing Clinic, we were happy to provide this necessary hearing aid at the Doctor's Suggestion. It's wonderful to be able to give such practical help to someone in need!

The FTBK Children’s Home Authority recently visited the office of our newly elected local ward Councillor and congratulated her with the presentation of a small gift. We look forward to the good work that will be done for the betterment of our Community through our new Councillor!

FTBK Children’s Home Children gave their final exams for their Diploma in Computer Application in the month of January 2022. We wish each child the best with their studies!

In the month of December 2021, Free To Be Kids Charitable Trust distributed 4 Sewing Machines through our Krishnarampur Project. These machines were generously donated by the Rotary Club of Behala.  4 women received these machines to help them generate their own income for their family. We are so grateful for this support for women in the Community!

In December 2021 FTBK Charitable Trust partnered with the Tuli Foundation to distribute 100 Blankets to children living in the Salt Lake Community. We appreciate the generous donations from the members of the Tuli Foundation and their compassion towards those in need! In this cold season, these blankets are welcomed gift to families.

In December 2021 our Trust distributed 180 School Bags to children living in the Salt Lake Community. These children all study in our Education & Nutrition Program in this area. These bags are an added incentive to them to continue in their studies and keep working hard to increase their knowledge for a better future!

On the 28^th December 2021, the FTBK Children’s Home children and all staff went to the Sunderbans for our annual picnic. The day was enjoyed by all with the special highlight of sightseeing. After such a long time of not going outside, this outing was welcomed by all. To see the beautiful scenery, and enjoy some relaxing time together was a highlight that we won't forget!
