Tamil Murasu – Young Volunteers Served Food to the Elderly

Elderly residents from Sree Narayana Mission Nursing Home enjoyed a delightful visit to Little India, accompanied by young volunteers to celebrate Deepavali.

On Saturday, October 26, 15 elderly wheelchair users were warmly welcomed by young volunteers from the Rotary Club, who served meals on banana leaves at Little India Arcade.

Later, the group visited the Little India Bazaar and the Indian Heritage Centre, where both Indian and non-Indian elders had the opportunity to learn about various aspects of Indian culture.

At the end of the tour, the elders were given gift bags filled with various goodies. Radhika Pandiraj, 60, who has been residing at Sree Narayana Mission Nursing Home for two years, expressed her happiness about participating in the event.

Rajkumar Perumal, a member of the Rotary Club’s Executive Committee, said that the Rotary Club, with over 200 members, organises such charitable activities during Singapore’s major festivals.

“We hope to serve even more people in the coming years and warmly welcome anyone interested in community work to join us,” said Mr. Rajkumar.
