"SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM": FOSTERING EMPATHY AND CONNECTION
"વરિષ્ઠ સાથી કાર્યક્રમ"
In today’s fast-paced world, Helping Hand Charitable Trust has taken a remarkable initiative of bridging generations and fostering empathy in younger individuals through the Senior Companion Program. This program not only provides invaluable support to seniors but also offers college students a unique chance to enrich their lives through meaningful connections and service.
The Senior Companion Program at Helping Hand Charitable Trust is a heartwarming endeavour that pairs college students with senior citizens in need of companionship and support. This initiative recognises the often-overlooked wealth of experience and wisdom that seniors possess, while acknowledging the importance of combating loneliness and social isolation among the elderly. College students volunteer their time to spend quality moments with seniors. These interactions may involve engaging in conversation, playing games, reading books, or simply listening their success story and showing them own talent. Through these activities, bonds are formed that not only brighten the seniors’ days but also leave lasting impressions on the students.
