"A visit to Thavanur Old Age Home"
On saturday 12 th december 2015, NSS Volunteers of KAHM Unity women's college visited Thavanur Old Age home. This home (under govt of kerala) is one of the prominent and important center for the people who are not getting care from their home,children,family or spouse. 60 inmates are presently residing in the old age home.
On reaching there all of us assembled in the front area after which we went in groups to their rooms and sat down to listen to what they had to say. Some of them even had tears in their eyes when they were talking about their past stories. some of them were weak and sick made us extremely emotional. This trip reminded our volunteers of the reality of what true life is. We are always cribbling about what life is not offering us although we have everything. we should have due respect for the old people and lend our ears for a minute and just wait for them to express their thoughts. we also visited nearby MAHILA MANDIR and donated few clothes and other useful items. After lunch, a short visit to the ponnani harbour and beach made our trip more meaningful @unitynss15
