Giving a smile to someone who forgot to smile is the best thing someone can do.
~Mother Theresa~
Parents are the people who made their kids grow up, pampered them, spent their whole life for them and now are in need of help as they grew old with gray hair and painful bones.
Although parents never let their kids to be helpless as they grow up, in the present most of the children neglect their parents and let them be helpless in elders’ homes where they are only provided with just shelter and food not the love and affection they need.
So we, UoM Leos thought of visiting one such place to spend the day with the lonely elders and give them some love and affection they seek in the later parts of their lives. We paid a visit to Thihagoda Elder’s home on 31st of July with hearts full of love and affection. First, all the elders were bathed and then all their clothes as well as their living areas were cleaned. After the cleaning was done we were able to give them a proper meal, and a moment to relieve their pain and enjoy by singing along with us. At the end of the session, innocent smiles on their faces depicted the success of our effort to bring some love and affection to their lonely lives.
