BANGALORE, INDIA (INGERSOLL RAND NEWS SERVICE) -- "Team Embrace" – a group of 18 employees from the Ingersoll Rand Engineering Center in Bangalore, India – continues to support 20 orphans living at the nearby Vishwalaya Ashram. The team has been supporting this group of children since December 2006 through voluntary contributions by team members. A tenth check to be used to support the children was handed over recently to the caretaker.

The children at the Vishwalaya Ashram participate in an unorthodox method of studying that includes traveling and staging plays as part of their learning process. Local teachers also volunteer their time to teach the children.
