Question

Write a note on you visit to a old age home from your school

Answer 1

With the sole conviction of not isolating the old and deprived, it is a blessing for many old who have been sheltered in the old age home in Sukhshala,New Rajinder Nagar, Delhi where the students of Doon Public School, Paschim Vihar had a deep insight into some of the bitter and disillusioned realities of life which turned out to be an eye-opener for those who averred on their way back to be always with their parents through thick and thin. Our school believes in giving the first hand experiences to the learners and as a part the school’s initiative to sensitize the young towards the aged and the needy, the students of class 11 were taken to the shut-in home where they spent thought provoking moments with the inmates who have been either neglected or become unwanted by their children who take them as useless appendages. Some of the elderly people the students met there did not come willingly, since they had Hobson’s choice so they had to resort there. The students shared the woeful experiences of all the inmates, consoled them and offered them books, handkerchiefs, fruits, cookies and the most precious was to give vent to the feelings of the old which made many outburst their emotions. It was really a joyous experience for all the students to visit the old age home and interact with its inmates. The most inspiring thing there was that in spite of facing so many hardships these aged people have brave hearts and are still trying to find endless ways to be happy to live.
