We the final year students underwent a home visit to Karunya Illam on 06-08-2011as a generous SAECE activity. The ‘THE KARUNYA ILLAM’ is located in Gorimedu near Yercaud (Salem). We planned to provide breakfast and to give some basic and useful things for the inmates of that HOME.
As per our plan, we reached the home by 9 A.M. They were seemingly delighted due to our presence. We served the breakfast to the inmates with care. Before the breakfast, the inmates prayed to bless our family & us with happiness and long life. They also thanked us for providing breakfast.
After the breakfast, we started to interact with the inmates who are mentally challenged, they came forward to express their talents by dancing,singing & painting. They danced with enthusiasm and eagerness letting their worries not dampen them. We conducted some games to the children there which helped us to connect with them and induce some happiness.
In between, we distributed a whole lot package of chocolates, snacks etc., We also provided notebooks to the inmates and they scribbled what they know. They shared whatever they know and we heard it patiently. There were 10 teachers in that home to take care of the students. They were too merciful with the mentally challenged people who were staying there. After understanding their way of care for the students, we planned to present something to teachers. In order to appreciate them we gave sarees to each of them. Also we learnt how to communicate with different kinds of people.
We spent nearly four hours with them. Though we spent only 4 hours, their words and feelings remained deeply etched in our heart. We prayed to The Almighty for their happiness in the rest of their life...!!!
