The elderly spoke about their times, the ups and downs of life which they faced, and of course the situation which brought them to the Aashirwad.
Students of SJHS had never encountered such an experience and came back with deep concern for the falling values in society. They pledged to take care of the elderly and also expressed a desire to go back again sometime soon to spend time at the old age home.
Students of the school have also donated winter wear and other edible goods items for the underprivileged.
