Although the nursing home provides necessities like food and clothing, it cannot fully replicate the affection of a loving family.
“If we keep our elderly people well and cheerful, they will always feel young and happy in their old years,” said Mr. Raju, President of the St. Vincent De Paul home.
The nursing home staff testified that this was the happiest the elderly had been all year. For the orphan children, it was about receiving the attention and love that other children experience from parents and grandparents.
Later in the afternoon, the children distributed fruits and sweets to the elderly. Before they left, the elderly prayed for each child, advising them to study well, and to love, care, and respect one another.
