| | The Hindu : Tamil Nadu / Madurai News : Emergency shelters for stray children opened |
 | | The centre (also called emergency shelters) for children is meant for straying, missing and abandoned children in distress on the streets, encountered by the Nanban street educators or referred to the NGO by police outposts. |
 | | It is not easy to take them straight away to homes run by the Nanban, for that would be inconvenient both for the children and inmates. |
 | | For many of the Nanban's child intervention programmes, the Centre would serve as the base camp, which would provide first aid to the harassed runaway children before other relief could be identified, he said. |
