Rescuing the helpless people
Rescuing someone who has been living on the streets, caked in dirt with matted hair, sometimes violent and with fractures, starved abused, hardly like a human is a difficult task. The Social Worker needs to have courage and compassion. Once the person is brought to Anbin Illam, his/ her hygiene is attended to. With a bath, clean clothes and a good meal, there is already a change. This is followed by a medical check- up and treatment by a General Practitioner. The Psychologist and Social Worker record their observations which are used for Psychiatric consultation and treatment.

Restoration of people to their normal life
After treatment, when the patient has sufficiently recovered, efforts are made to trace the family. The Social Worker tries to get information about the family from the patient. It is a long process where even a small clue is used to track the post- office and through them the family. If the patient and the family are eager to be reunited, then arrangements are made for them to be a whole family again.
