Visit to Sree Narayana Mission Home

Today, we visited the Sree Narayana Mission Home. Initially, many of the pupils were anxious and worried as they did not know what to expect. Some of them were worried that they might not be able to communicate with the elderly.

We started by playing a simple game- Pass the Parcel. A parcel was being passed around by the elderly with the pupils as facilitators. When the music stopped, a layer of newspaper was unwrapped to reveal a hand-made card by a pupil for the elderly.

I was very heartened to see many of the pupils stepping up to help the elderly unwrap and also to help the elderly pass the parcel.

After the game, all the pupils had a chance to play either bowling or hitting the balloon with the elderly. Everyone had fun as the anxiety and worries which many had initially were all gone. A few pupils even lamented that the time spent at the home was too short.
I am very proud of everyone for the effort they put in to interact with the elderly. Good job!
Here are some photos and videos taken.
