Mangaluru, Nov 20: Mount Carmel Central School observed “World Day of the Poor” by visiting the home for the elderly run by the Little Sisters of the Poor and destitute home of the White Doves on 17th November 2023. The Students of grade II A and B along with their mentors visited these homes.

The programme at both the places commenced by invoking God’s blessings on the inmates and their care takers. The Students entertained them with a cultural programme and expressed their love for them by sharing fruits and eatables. The mass dance enlivened their spirit. The interaction of the little ones brought tears of joy as they hugged each other. Besides, talking to them in their own mother tongue made the inmates more intimate. At the end of the programme, a short meaningful message was given by the person in charge and an inmate on behalf of the group, expressed their gratitude in a heart touching way.

One could witness the joy of the inmates as the students entertained and interacted with them. This visit also created awareness in the students to think of the less privileged ones of the society, to reach out to them in love and compassion as well as to be grateful for the love and care they receive from their parents and family members. Indeed it had a profound positive impact on them.
