Father’s Day Celebrations at SaiSahara Old Age Home
#AnotherMystery
Our grandparents come and stay with us, and we definitely feel the affection. Think about those grandmas and grandpas who really want to be with their grandchildren however are caged within the walls of an old age home, with no one to share and care for them. Well old age homes and the people who cage them are still a mystery!
HelpingBrainz.Org’s Elderly Care team to show its commitment towards the senior citizens of the country and in its mission to improve the lives of the elderly by providing companionship visited Sai Sahara Old Age home located near Rajendra Place metro station.
We together watched a cricket match, shared gossips, had tea, clicked photographs and donated few vegetables. Thanks to Dr.Rajeshwari for this opportunity. People who contributed were Pratee Sudera, Gitanshu Khurana , @Kirti Tikyani, Vanshita Kumar, Parul and Yedhu Krishna Menon .

Winter Clothes Donation Drive – Delhi
33,518 homeless people died in Delhi between January 2004 and October 2015 because of the cold weather conditions, according to the data released by the zonal integrated police network under the union ministry. That means 3000/season and we are not sure about the status in 2015 and 2016.
The Government despite of erupting sculptures, if could have given homes to these needy with the money the common man pay as tax, then the above figure could have lowered and Helping Brainz today couldn’t have seen human beings shivering and combating the weather conditions in the streets of Delhi.
Helping Brainz, conducted a night donation drive where we donated clothes to the needy kids, mothers, men and age old with blankets, quilts, sweaters, bed sheets etc. We started our journey from Vasundhara Enclave (10:30 PM) after collecting clothes and blankets from Monica Rumi Ghosh and Sitalakshmi Ma’am, and the drive ended at Kalka Mandir, Kalkaji (4:00 AM). Areas covered where Bhairo Baba Mandir, Connaught Circus, Baba Kharak Singh Marg, and Kalka Mandir. People who contributed where Monica Rumi Ghosh, Sitalakshmi Sarma, Anup Shanker, Sandeep Kumar and Yedhu Krishna Menon.
A special thanks to Anup (the Helping Brain behind the event), who drove all the way and to Sandeep who volunteered for the happening. 😉

Girls (Helping Brainz) from Lucknow made a difference.
Helping Brainz Team Members from Lucknow (fortunately all ladies) made a difference by giving a difference approach to the traditional old age home visits, which even Helping Brainz was practicing till date.

Old Age Home Visit to Sai Sahara Old Age Home
Old age homes are still a mystery for us. How can someone send the ones, to an old age home, who made them learn to walk and talk? By the invent of technology, and people being more globalized the count of old age homes are rapidly increasing in urban areas/ metros however surprisingly in rural areas – but why?
Does that also mean that we’re more loving the materialistic world than the natural ones?
Anyway we at Helping Brainz made a sudden plan to celebrate “Teacher’s Day” (as we don’t want a day to celebrate our love for our teachers JUST on a specific day however 365 days are teacher’s day for us, we thought of celebrating the same with few who graduated from the university called “life”) Sai Sahara Old Age Home in Rajendra Place run by Dr.Rajeshwari. Vibhesh Anand, Vivek Vaid, Vikas Vaid, Pratik Bishen and Yedhu paid a visit to the old age home, donated some groceries had an awesome tea made by a grandpa, stretched the wrinkles and walked back home with the same sort of questions and to be honest it was sad to see them saying them a goodbye and waving hands till the time we were getting lost into the darkness.
Groceries were bought by Vibhesh Anand and Team Helping Brainz, and the medicines by Dr.Sanjay Deb (as it was a quick plan, a special thanks to them).
Let’s love our elders n parents, wherein not ONLY on specific dates, HOWEVER always.
