Visit to Orphanage and Old age Home
On 21st of December ,2023 the students Std XB got a opportunity to visit Shishu Bhavan ,an orphanage home and Care Shelter Public Charity Trust. The students voluntarily contributed things such as groceries, toiletries to be distributed to the old age home and the orphanage.
They visited the orphanage home- ShishuBhavan and met the adorable kids and helped them with whatever little they could, it was overhelming. Although they could hardly speak to us but, they understood they were in pain. They left from there with a heavy heart and continued their journey to Care Shelter Charity Trust located in Hennur Main Road. They interacted with the old-aged people who were abandoned by their family members. It was an emotional experience as they related their stories of ill treatment by their own people.
All in all, it was a great experience.
