“Compassion is the capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else’s skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.”

Everyone is hard-pressed for time, makes it all the more important for us to take time out for a visit to our “Santhome Snehatheeram” Senior Citizens home near Thiruvallur. Father Manoj Karippai with Four Sisters take care the Home with 23 Old persons. Father Manoj Karippai took us around and introduced each individuals in the old age home.

We were greeted warmly there and we found out that all the elderly people were very jovial and full of life. We the youth of Little Mount Church served food and ate with them.

They shared their likes and dislikes with us and also made us laugh at their light-hearted jokes and also sang songs, danced to the tune which made them light and joy. They were all happy when we interacted with them. We got to that being old is not easy. We could actually see the pain and loneliness in each person’s eye. (Experience is everything)

It was wonderful to know that our presence could bring a smile to others faces. (Make Smiles)

We also thank our parish priest Father Sanesh Thekkethala who gave full support by making this event an successful and meaning full visit for every youth.

Three Cheers to “Little Mount Youth Volunteers” who made their days. (Proud to Belong)
