According to UNICEF, the latest estimate states that there are about 2.7 million children in orphanages. Orphanage is a residence for people who are without parental support or any moral support from anyone. Such orphans require help from people who are in a good financial state to donate them. Generally, in orphanage records are usually maintained for future reference, retrieval, and easy management. The objective of this paper is to help the orphans from different orphanages to get help from the donors who wish to donate them by using our web application. The proposed system helps the staff in reducing manual paper work and enhances tidiness in record keeping since the existing one uses manual keeping, i.e., the use of files and papers. The system allows the orphanage owner to add and modify the orphan records. The system provides suggestions for assignment of these orphans to the caretakers/donors by using SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm. Donor can select the orphan and request for adoption from the orphanage owner. The Orphanage owner can accept or reject help from the donor. The proposed system is aimed to facilitate donors with the details of an orphan and providing fund specifically to that orphan.

Personalized recommender system has attracted wide range of attention among researchers in recent years. These recommender systems suggest products or services depending upon user's personal interest. There has been a huge demand for development of web search apps for gaining knowledge pertaining to user's choice. A strong knowledge base, type of approach for search and several other factors make it accountable for a good personalized web search engine. This paper presents the state of art, challenges and other issues in this context, thereby providing the need for an improved personalized system. The study carried out in this paper reports the overview of existing technologies for building a personalized recommender systems in social networking platforms. Study reported in this article seems to be promising and provides possibilities of research directions, pros & cons and other alternatives.
