On 20th October 2018, C-Park makes a visit to Old Age Home at Karaikal. The famous quotes of Booth Tarkington is “Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age”.
We visited to old age home which was started by a nun. Around 30 Senior citizens are living in the home. We found two categories of people there, the ones who were abandoned and deserted by their families and others who were physically and mentally challenged.
Whatever the case may be, the sufferers were the aged ones. Old age is also called the second childhood, and is a time one needs love and care of the near and dear. They were very hospitable and friendly, and they welcomed us with their beautiful smiles. With the support of good hearted people we served lunch to them and offered hand towel as the humble token of our love.
The minimum time we spent there was cherished among the elders which was most needed for them. We are moved and grateful for their blessings and prayers in return with good heart and smiles.
