“Compassion is the capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else’s skin.”
Imparting the value of compassion & selflessness, Akal Academy Theh Kalandar organized a visit to the Old age Home Fazilka. This visit is organized by the Head Mistress Mrs. Gurjeet Kaur. The president of this Manav Kalyan Sabha Mrs. Saroj Thirani also shared her view with the students.
It was an enriching experience for the students. In spite of fighting with the odds their heartwarming welcome was very touching.
Students shared food with them and fed them with their own hands. They made them laugh with their light hearted jokes and joyful conversations. It was wonderful to watch them smile with their innocent presence and cheerful smiles.
Students spent quality time with them, making it the most worthwhile time ever spent. It was really a poignant experience for all the students to visit the old age home and interact with them. In the end, students vowed to do something for senior citizens and contribute towards the betterment of their condition.
These learning experiences make students more empathetic and compassionate for the under privileged and the needy ones and when they grow up they are raised as selfless humans.
