VISIT TO OZANAM-OLD AGE HOME AT KALLIANPUR, UDUPI.


The HR forum of Poornaprajna Institute of Management visited the old age nursing home- OZANAM at Kallianpur, Udupi on 28th September 2018.
During the visit the 12 students from HR specialisation along with the faculty in-charge Mr.Joe Ashwin Correa interacted with the elderly, seeking information regarding their good old days and about their present-day to day routine. Some of the elderly also shared their experiences with the students individually which was a good experience.

The students also conducted spot games and activities to bring in some smiles on the old and tired faces. The inmates participated wholeheartedly and showed an excellent sportive spirit during these 2 hours.
At the end, the Superior of the Old age home thanked the students for the noble initiative and blessed the students for the great sacrifice. The students as a token of love distributed handmade greeting cards, chocolates, cake and other necessary food items to the inmates who would be consumed by them during their regular tea breaks.
The whole program went well and concluded with a group photograph. The students signed off with a promise to visit the inmates once again.

“There was happiness on the faces of the elders. They shared their feelings, emotions and it was a heart touching experience to talk and spend time with them. They badly needed someone like us to be with them at this age.”
-PRATIKSHA PRABHU

“Our visit to Ozanam was an unforgettable experience. There were around 35 inmates altogether, who I felt were craving for love and affection. In the most limited time we had we spent some time with them to make them feel special. I would like to say that the way the nuns are taking care of these inmates is inspiring.”
