Dear Diary
My friend Mahesh, is an active volunteer. He has been helping an organization 'Helping the Old' and visiting old homes and meeting the senior citizens there. Inspired by his noble gesture, I stayed for a day at one of the old age homes.
I noticed that many of the old people did not seem to belong to any family. Their family members have left them in the home and do not care to visit them. Old age is a time of life when emotional support is very important. The body and mind become weak and dependency creeps in. At such a time parents crave to meet their children and to have a sense of belonging to someone.
Some of the senior citizens have been separated from their spouses. This also causes a sense of loneliness. They do not have any financial support to make them feel self reliant. It is a very sad state.
I hope the caretaker's organise fun activities and day outs for them. Hopefully the fresh air and the activities will help them to gain their lost confidence and interest in life.
