'A Day at Old Age Home' to Spread Compassion, Initiative by Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival

Mumbai, Maharashtra, Nov 15, 2023: In a heartwarming display of community spirit, the DPIFF team recently organized a CSR activity – A Day at Old Age Home. The initiative took place on November 11, 2023 at Kisangopal Rajpuriya Vanprasth Ashram, an old age home nestled in the heart of Bhayander (West), Mumbai. This haven for the elderly is home to residents from various corners of our nation. Notably, all the elderly who reside there have faced the challenging reality of being abandoned by their families, including their children. Despite this adversity, the initiative sought to create a supportive and uplifting environment for these resilient individuals.

 

The day commenced with an enlightening session on naturopathy conducted by Dr. Anup Singh. Dr. Singh shared invaluable insights on emergency preparedness, offering the elderly residents practical advice on safeguarding their health. The session also included tailored exercises and practices designed to enhance the overall well-being of the elderly attendees.

 

Following this enlightening start, the DPIFF team transitioned into a lively and engaging fun and games section. Laughter was in the air as residents participated wholeheartedly in various activities, creating an atmosphere of joy and camaraderie. The positive energy and enthusiasm were palpable, making it a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.

 

As the day unfolded, the DPIFF team extended their warmth by serving a delicious lunch to the elderly residents. The act of sharing a meal not only nourished their bodies but also fostered a sense of togetherness and care. It was a simple yet profound gesture that added a special touch to the activity.
