As our parents look after all our needs no matter how old we are, it is our core responsibility to nurture them when they become old and helpless. The unconditional love they shower must be equally shown by their children as well. But the question is, Do they? The answer can never be that simple, as with each individual lies different personalities and consciences. Our observation showed us the variations, from responsible and sensible adolescents to heartless and self-centered ones. In between these crowds, the most heartbreaking are the ones who were left behind, old and shattered, how haunting it must have felt to even imagine their aloneness.

As social workers, we always consider them our own parents, and so we aspire to take the first step and initiate the projects of Old Age Homes. If we successfully finish the project then we’ll be able to provide a safe shelter for hundreds of old people who were either abandoned or completely ignored by their own children. By God’s grace, it’s been a wonderful journey, and we expect to extend this path infinitely.
