March 18 : On Sunday March 17, 2024, ICYM Balkunje unit visited the Jeevan Asha Trust old age home in Shirva. It has become a home to about 40 elderly people.
Most of the elderly residing there are local residents of nearby places while few are from faraway places like Bombay. The old age home houses people that are healthy as well as sick and bedridden.

This visit gave them a chance to interact with the residents and know their story. The residents there were lovely and kind enough to tell the visitors about their lives. ICYM members spoke to each of the residents individually. Then, they entertained the inmates by singing and dancing for them. They also distributed the snacks that they had bought for them as well as donated some money. It was a beautiful experience and a day to remember. It made the ICYM members appreciate the people who take care of the elderly.
