One of the elderly ladies was looking at me when I gave her a greeting card.  She asked me “What are your favorite hobbies?” I told her that I like painting, dancing, swimming, and singing.  Then she said that she loves to do painting. We both talked for quite a long time. She enjoyed my company and I saw happiness and joy on her face.  It was time for us to go back and I promised her to keep in touch with her.

Later that day when I reached home, I told my mom about our visit. She explained to me that in this age, if one can give an ear to someone, it is also a great act of kindness and love.  In the world of technology, internet, WhatsApp, Facebook, real connection with the people is really being lost. She told me that she was proud of me and said that I should continue visiting the Old Age Home at least one time every month.

One day my teacher told the class that we all will be visiting the Old Age Home tomorrow.  Next she explained how we should behave in the Old Age Home.  She asked if we want we can bring some fruits or greeting cards for the elderly.  I was amazed by the idea and was wondering how the visit would be.

When I went home, I told my mom about it.  My mom got amazed and gave me some fruits and I made a few greeting cards for the elderly.  Next morning when I woke up, I was excited to visit the Old Age Home. I made sure I took the fruits and the greeting cards I made.

After reading to school, the whole class was ready to visit the Old Age Home.  We started to walk to the Old Age Home with our teacher. When we reached at the Old Age Home, it was their breakfast time.  Most of them were sitting in the breakfast area.  The nurses were attending them with love, care and attention.

I asked my teacher if I can share the fruits and greeting cards to the elderly people. She said “yes” to me so I started to share the fruits and the greeting cards I bought from home.  I went by each elderly person and said to them “Good morning” and “How are you?” They felt happy and nice.
