A bunch of enthusiastic volunteers from Mumbai Office visited the Home for the Aged on 18th Jan 2019. Our dear Elders were eagerly waiting for our arrival in order to begin their favourite game ‘Housie’. Sr. Agnes warmly greeted us & was equally delighted to see us. When we entered the seating area, a firm & warm handshake of the excited uncle who volunteers to sell handmade flowers doubled our enthusiasm of visiting that day. As Lionel started calling out numbers during the game, we saw their excitement rising up which gladdened our hearts.
In the end we left with an imprint of their happy faces, carving a fulfilling and peaceful impact on our minds.
It was indeed a wonderful feeling to receive their blessings as we bid them adieu until next time.
Some beautiful experiences shared by our volunteers:
“It was truly a blessing that I experienced & also felt the importance of loving old people & receiving the same love & blessings from them multiplied to infinite times back.” ~Jinu
“Seeing the BIG smile on the YOUNG Hearts I went to meet, felt divinely enriching, knowing that Life has Great things to offer and that I could be a part of their Smile. Thankz.” ~Lionel
” It was a pleasant experience to visit an old age home and spend some time with the elders present there. Especially the housie game. I was touched to see them smiling for a longer period of time . So totally it was a wonderful experience and I felt really peaceful that entire day.” ~Rolf
“The visit to old age home was a fulfilling experience for me which brought smiles and cheer on their faces. I felt we should not abandon our old parents and look after them in their old age.” ~Celine
“A visit to the Elder’s Home has always uplifted me. A gentle smile, a warm touch and a caring blessing from the Uncles and Aunties make me not just happy but leaves me with a thought.. What more can I do for them in my own little way. “We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” – Mother Teresa ” ~Venezia
” It was my second visit and it was really awesome. I always feel nice to make others happy and to see the smile on their faces really made my day. J” ~Advait
