Outreach– VIII C

As part of the Outreach Programme, the students of class 8 C, Sophia High School visited Jerome Home on Pettigrew Street, which is an old age home for ladies today. We had gathered donations such as atta, grains, adult diapers and other essential items, which were respectfully handed over to the home. The fifteen elderly ladies residing there welcomed us warmly, and we spent time speaking with them, listening to their experiences, and offering companionship.
We also sang songs, performed a short dance where they joined us, and ended with a prayer for Sr. Emily, who devotedly looks after the residents. The visit was a deeply meaningful and heart-warming experience for all of us, reminding us of the importance of empathy, service, and caring for the elderly.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to my teachers, Sr. Alpana, and Sophia High School on behalf of all students for giving us the opportunity to visit the home.
