Chencholai: 'orphanage' with a vicious agenda

CANNON FODDER: The year 1987, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam took over the Muthuthamby Orphanage at Tinnevely using their muscle-power and threats to advantage.
This had both the boys and girls wing, and looking back, it is evident that Velupillai Prabhakaran had set the eyes on orphanages as the source for his fighting cadres and also as the fronts to raise funds from the gullible and the foolish.

Once they grabbed the Tinnevely orphanage, the LTTE made it crystal clear that they would be the ones to run, manage and control orphanages in the entire Northern and Eastern Provinces.
