“There is nothing more wonderful than a grand parent’s love and guidance for his or her grandchild.”

 

Grandparents Day is a day dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the important contribution made by grandparents to the wellbeing and education of children within their family. It is an opportunity for family to show their gratitude and respect for the older generation and to honour grandparents.

Grandparents can get away with a little spoiling, which gives them a special place in a child’s (and a Mother’s) heart. They tell great stories and are the bearers of a family’s history. They pass on family traditions and delight grandchildren about how life ‘used to be’.

We celebrated Grandparents’ Day with the help of one of our community doctors. Arrangements were done to decorate the room beautifully. An interactive session on how to take good care of your health after 50 made every one aware about how important it was to eat healthy and exercise regularly. An informative presentation was displayed through multimedia, after which there was a question and answer session; the day ended with delicious tea and biscuits.
