On October 28, 2023, our incredible volunteers came together to bring happiness to the lives of the elderly at St. Mary's Mommy Daddy Care, East Kallada, Kollam. π‘π
π Six compassionate hearts united to spread smiles among 40 wonderful residents of the old age home. This event was a beautiful reminder of the power of community, kindness, and the joy that comes from selfless giving. π€
The aim of this heartwarming initiative was to bring happiness and a sense of inclusion to the elderly and differently-abled individuals. The day started with an introductory session, but it quickly transformed into a symphony of joy as many of the residents sang their hearts out during our interaction time. πΆ
π² We engaged the residents with various fun games, creating a lively and entertaining atmosphere. Some of the highlights included:
- Name the Song β We played tunes from their younger days, letting them reminisce and sing along.
- Pass the Ball β A fun-filled game that showcased their playful spirit and energy.
- Memory Game β An engaging challenge to keep their spirits high and minds active.
The room was filled with laughter, music, and joy as they danced, played, and even participated in a delightful karaoke session. Simple warm-up dance steps brought an extra spark of happiness to their day. ππΊπ€
π² After all the fun and excitement, we shared a delicious lunch with the residents, strengthening our bonds over a hearty meal. Alongside this, we also handed over much-needed donations to the administrators to support their ongoing care efforts. π½οΈ
π¨ The residents had the chance to showcase their incredible talents, stepping away from their daily routines to sing, dance, and participate in sit-down games. To help break the monotony and provide continued entertainment, we donated books and a Snake and Ladder game board. Additionally, the financial assistance provided will have a meaningful impact on their well-being. ππ―π°
