A day out for senior citizens in Nagpur

Team Rotary News

In its endeavour to make a positive impact on senior citizens living in old age homes in the city, RC Nagpur Ishanya, RID 3030, recently carried out a heartwarming project called Muskaan - The Joy of Giving. Under the initiative, they had a fun outing.

Club members had to gather information about the old age homes and identify the seniors who were fit to be taken on a one-day picnic. They were able to identify 150 beneficiaries from 10 different homes and transported them to Telankhedi Hanuman Mandir ground through buses, along with 30 caretakers.

Upon arrival, the seniors were welcomed by a group of 50 club members, who adorned them with a chandan tilak and sang songs to greet them. The morning started with a breakfast of tea, biscuits and bananas, followed by a visit to the temple. To liven up the day, the club arranged games like Antakshari.

Rotarians served them a grand vegetable thali followed by ice cream and desserts. The second half of the day was filled with entertainment activities, including a magic show, Holi with flowers, and a dance with club members. n
