A Day of Compassion: Our Visit to an old age home @ CPSGS ANN

Written by cpsglobalblog

At CPS Global, our commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals extends beyond the classroom. We believe in instilling values of empathy, compassion, and social responsibility in our students from a young age. One remarkable event that exemplified this commitment took place on September 8, 2023. A group of selected lower primary students embarked on a heartwarming journey to Tansowa Adharvau Illam – an old age home in Arumbakkam, a place filled with stories and wisdom, where the elderly residents awaited their arrival.

The purpose of this visit was not just to meet and greet the elderly residents but to make a tangible difference in their lives. The students came bearing gifts that would provide comfort and solace: cots, mattresses, pillows, and fans. These items were carefully selected to improve the quality of life for the elderly residents, especially during the sweltering Chennai summers.

Upon arrival, our students were greeted by the warm smiles and kind eyes of the elderly residents. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of anticipation and hope. As they distributed the gifts, the joy and gratitude expressed by the elderly were heartwarming. It was a moment that transcended words, as the students experienced the profound impact of their generosity.

Beyond the material contributions, this visit provided our young students with an invaluable opportunity to interact with the elderly residents. They engaged in conversations, listened to stories of days gone by, and shared their own youthful enthusiasm. It was a day of intergenerational connection and understanding, where both the young and old learned from each other.

The visit to Tansowa Adharvau Illam sowed the seeds of empathy in the hearts of our students. They witnessed the importance of caring for and respecting the elderly, and they left with a deeper understanding of the value of companionship and compassion. These are lessons that textbooks cannot teach but are essential for nurturing compassionate and responsible citizens.

As we reflect on this memorable day, we are reminded of the power of compassion and the significance of connecting with others, regardless of age. We extend our gratitude to the students, parents, and teachers who supported and participated in this meaningful initiative, and we look forward to more opportunities to spread warmth, kindness, and joy in our community.

Stay tuned for more stories of compassion and community service from CPS Global, where every day is an opportunity to make a difference.
