A lovely day to Remember

/

On October 1, 2022, the Snehalaya, family was happy to celebrate Gandhi Jayanthi and Senior Citizen ‘s Day at the Snehalaya Campus. On this unique day, 70 elders from Snehalaya Shanthi Dham were honoured and felicitated. For them, a variety of cultural events and games were organised. Elders took part in various cultural events and performed. We were all greatly inspired by their dynamism and intensity. The programme was presided over by Mr. Narayan Shenoy, the senior member of the Shanthi Dham, while Mr. Dinesh (The District Legal Service Authority) from Kasaragod served as the chief guest and Rev Fr. Santhosh Menezes chaplain of Snehalaya was also blessed the occasion with his presence.

On this day we have committed to make the fundamental shifts necessary to foster healthy ageing. The four areas for action include the need to pursue age-friendly environment free of physical and social barriers; to combat discriminatory ageism; to ensure access to good-quality essential health services; and to provide rehabilitative resources when these become necessary. Snehalaya Shanthi Dham, a home for the elderly, always guarantees their happiness and enhanced well-being.

Let’s make a commitment to engaging with seniors in all of their diversity, to hearing and amplifying their perspectives, and ultimately to realising the progress that is so urgently required.
