Bala Yesu Bhavan Old Age Home On November 30, 2024, our class, 9B,
visited the Bala Yesu Old Age Homes Part of our outreach program. We got
the chance to brighten the days of our elderly community with songs, dance
and speech. We met around 25 residents, spending time interacting with
them, listening to their stories, and sharing brief moments of connection. It
was really fascinating to learn the life stories of so many earnest individuals.
The head of the home, a kind and welcoming nun, spoke to us warmly about
their daily lives. Two residents stood out—a cheerful woman who has lived
there with her older sister for 10 years and another who spoke fluent English
and moved us with a heartfelt farewell speech. This experience was truly
meaningful, inspiring and instilled valuable advice in us.
