Community Service Day - II
Our second day at Jubilee Mandiram was another deeply engaging and meaningful experience. One of the unique aspects of this institution is its self-sustaining approach, where essential cleaning products like comfort cleaner, dish wash, hand wash, Harpic, and Lizol are made in-house with the active involvement of the residents. We participated in this process, helping to transfer these products into bottles, ensuring they were ready for use. Seeing the residents so involved in maintaining their environment with such dedication was truly inspiring.
Beyond this, we assisted in cleaning jackfruit, a task that required teamwork and patience. The kitchen was another area where we actively contributed—helping the staff prepare meals and serve food to the residents. It was heartwarming to be part of their daily routine and witness the strong sense of community that keeps the Mandiram running smoothly. Despite being physically tiring, the experience was fulfilling, reinforcing the value of service and hard work.
A highlight of the day was the Dialysis Day Celebration at the unit, where a cake-cutting ceremony was held to appreciate the significance of the service provided. The event brought joy to the patients and caregivers, reminding us of the invaluable work being done for those in need. It was a touching moment that deepened our understanding of the institution’s role in providing care and support.
As the day wound down, we spent leisure time with the elderly residents, watching TV together and sharing moments of laughter and relaxation. These simple yet heartfelt interactions added warmth to our experience, making us feel more connected to the people we were there to serve.
