The students presented small cultural program for them to break the monotony of their lives. Some of them enjoyed singing and dancing with the students as well. The group cut the cake with them to celebrate the Mother’s Day and made it a long lasting memory of life for them. Though the group spent only few hours with them but it made them realize for the lifetime the value of grandparents and the tenderness which is needed to take care of them.
