An old age home visit: When we plan the visit an old age home visit, we plan it with all enthusiasms however the heart beats with some sorrow when we are with them, seeing their ‘real’ situations. Helping Brainz’s Elderly Care Projects, beautifully led by Sandeep Gujjar and Meenakshi Paswan, has been successful in building meaningful relationships with elderly members of the community and broaden their own understanding of various elder-related issues by conducting monthly visits to retirement homes, daytime elder-care centers and old age homes.
HelpingBrainz celebrates an old age home visit, just to spread love and stretch the wrinkles. We feel blessed that we became instrumental in imparting love to some needy noble beings atleast for some hours.
We celebrated our December 31st eve with the grandmas and grandpas (around 10) of Sahara Old Age Home (led by Mr. Arun Virk), Fatehpur Beri, Chattarpur. Our celebrations including music, donations of grocery and daily use items, cake cutting, gifting of saplings, and lots of love. We were glad to see that the grandmas and grandpas, are living like a family, giving away all their sorrows.
Daily use (sanitary and and grocery items were gifted by Sunchit Shehrawat and Monika Ghosh, and Dental Campaigns were led by Dr. Shweta Yadav . People who volunteered were, Vineeth M Sadanandan , Ashish Kumar, Neha Babu, Meenakshi Paswan, Dr.Shweta Yadav, Anil Kumar , Nidhi P. Menon and Yedhu Krishna Menon.
Old Age is something which can happen to anyone, let’s respect our elders.

“How can one send their parents to an old age home – how can a parent leave their kids in an orphanage – a Question which stings after HelpingBrainz.Org visits any related shelters”

As the name suggests the old age home which also acts as a destination for the orphaned and abandoned, provides a new form of life with the help of unprecedented love, care and affection provided by ‘Nai Duniya – Old Age Home’.

Visit by REborn Riders to Sai Sahara Old Age Home : Event Facilitated by HelpingBrainz.Org
“Hope and future”, writes the Pope, “presuppose memory. The memory of the elderly gives us the support we need to continue on our path. The future of society … is rooted in the elderly and the young: the latter because they have the strength and youth to carry history forward, and the former because they are the source of living memory. A population that does not take care of the elderly and of children and the young has no future, because it abuses both its memory and its promise”. – Pope Francis

HelpingBrainz.Org’s Old Age Home Visit on Teacher’s Day 5/9/15
“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning”. Brad Henry
HelpingBrainz.Org’s Elderly Care Team on September 5th celebrated Teacher’s day with the grandmas and grandpas of Sai Sahara Old Age Home, located in Rajendra Place.
We at HelpingBrainz.Org and our supporting volunteers, were again stunned by the silence in dark; How can a person send their parents/or grandparents to an old age home, cage them between the darkened walls, make them exposed to visitors like us – we were troubled by millions of undefined questions which churned our clueless brains, a feeling of zero gravity surrounded us. Though we were allotted 2 hours by the authorities, we tried our level best to make them smile for a while thereby creating a small orifice of light in the darkened rooms. As an astonishing fact, according to a global survey, Indian youth has become the most vulnerable in sending in their parents to an old age home, given than we hosts or we’re the successors of the world’s oldest civilization which respects elders.
“Let’s together enlighten ourselves, charity begins at home”
Sai Sahara Old Age Home, houses around 14 grandmas and grandpas is located at Dushghara Village in the outskirts of Rajendra Place (around 4 KMs from the Metro Station). The daily activities and routines are taken care Rajeshwari Ma’am (a psychologists) and her colleagues. 
HelpingBrainz.Org and the supporting volunteers, donated clothes, bedsheets, fruits, grocery items and vegetables. A health checkup cum healing camp was conducted by Sanjay DebSir. People who volunteered and donated the stuffs were Sanjay Deb (Panel Member Helping Brainz), Muzaffar Yunus, Vibhesh Anand, Sapna Mittal and Shreya Prakash ( from Ameriprise Financials, Gurgaon), Satyam Verma (from IBM India), Navneet Chandel, Mehak Kochcher, Aman Verma, Sundaram Verma (all from Wipro, Delhi), Vishal Bhardwaj(from Tech Mahindra), Lakshmi Mishra (from Gargi College, Delhi), Shubhangi Chauhan (from Kalindi College, Delhi), Prachi Prakash ( Designer, Lowe Lintas) and Gurmilan Kaur (from Daily Post, Chandigarh)
From HelpingBrainz.Org the entire was orchestrated by Jyoti Suchye and Hiba Siddiqui (Elderly Care Project Team Leaders, HelpingBrainz.Org), Shally Arora and Pratik Raj Bishen (Public Relations, HelpingBrainz.Org), Shubhangi Srivastava ( Women Empowerment Leader,HelpingBrainz.Org), Surbhi Dhingra (Child Empowerment Leader, HelpingBrainz.Org), Utsav Anand ( Team Leader,HelpingBrainz.Org Meerut), Sandee Gujjar (Blogger,HelpingBrainz.Org), Aanchal Suchyeand Sanjeev Verma ( Volunteers, HelpingBrainz.Org), and Yedhukrishna Menon (Founder, HelpingBrainz.Org).
Moreover Sept 5th being our Lord’s birthday, we found spreading smiles to the age old as a perfect means of praying 🙂
Old Age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man, let’s respect our elders.
Cleanliness Drive at Sector 31 Noida – World Environment Day
A Park cleaned by Helping Brainz and the Children of Nithari: This is how we celebrated World Environment Day (though it was yesterday)
They’re God on earth. Yes in the career of Helping Brainz, we have never surfaced such an energy, which we saw in young KIDS aged between 5 to 12, who shook hands with us in a cleanliness drive orchestrated by Helping Brainz, facilitated by Gram Pradhan Nithari Vimlesh Sharma and SADRAG NGO.
We together cleaned a land, which can be easily used as a park/garden however which is being used a garbage dump by the local residents, which is indirectly spreading epidemics. Though not complete however a section of the park was cleaned by the kids and volunteers. The activity aimed in creating change-making ideologies among the young ignited minds of Nithari (kids), which exactly synchronized according to the plan. Kids and volunteers cleaned around 22 trolley-vans full of garbage and became instrumental in bringing cleanliness in the park. The caretakers of the park (so called gardeners)/ and the local residents living in the surroundings just ‘gaped’ at the kids and volunteers, after they saw the untapped energy among the kids. Though the gardeners showed initial interest and they stepped back after churning their brooms for few minutes, however the kids and the Helping Brainz volunteers didn’t step back after the completion of the tasks assigned to them by their will.
This is an activity which the government is supposed to do, Helping Brainz could have approached the government for the same, however Helping Brainz took a U-turn by first involving kids, because they are tomorrow’s change-makers, HelpingBrainz want them to be tomorrow’s environmentalist the messengers of cleanliness , HelpingBrainz dream of a beautiful Nithari through them. In next few days the park would be cleaned using machines under the supervision of Gram Pradhan Nithari on 13th June, the children and volunteers from Helping Brainz would be planting samplings in the park.
The drive started with a motivational and informative session by Jayanthi Ma’am ( Jayanthi Iyengar ) who addressed the kids and the Helping Brainz team-members about the need of a clean environment. Thereafter we distributed the gloves and masks (children were really overwhelmed after wearing them, as if they became doctors ), then the real game started, 38 children from Nithari and a dozen of Helping Brainz team-members/volunteers began an activity which even the Government weren’t doing for long, though it was their cup of tea.
The team consisted of 38 young ignited minds from SADRAG (NGO), Poonam Ma’am and Santosh Ma’am from SADRAG (NGO), Vikky Sharma (Associate of Gram Pradhan Nithari),Samyak Jain from AIESEC and Suchaya Chaiworn ( AIESEC-HelpingBrainz Intern for Environmental Campaigns from Thailand) and gardeners from Nithari village.
The entire event was led by Shally Arora ( Project Leader, Environmental and Elderly Care Campaigns ) and Shubhangi Srivastava (Project Leader, Women Empowerment Campaigns), also present were Kumar Madhuraj and Gitanshu Khurana (Project Leader, Rural and Community Development Initiatives), Pratik Bishen (Project Leader, Women Empowerment Campaigns), Shibin Varghese ( Project Leader, Environmental and Elderly Care Campaigns ), Pankaj Jha and Jyoti Mehta ( Helping Brainz Volunteers ) and Yedhu.
Helping Brainz was happy with a fact that these underpriviledged kids chanted the same slogan throughout that ‘they need their environment clean’, which is a gift by Helping Brainz to the environment.
Swachta Vriksharopan Abhiyan ( Cleanliness Drive) – Nithari – April 11 2015
We cleaned the Government School in Nithari on April 11, 2015
- FLASHBACK!
On 5th April Sunday afternoon, when I visited to Nithari Village, to supervise an educational counselling, conducted by Somi (Project Head, Internal Learning and Educational Counselling, HelpingBrainz.Org), me and Vimlesh Aunty walked through the silent verandahs of the lonely government school of Nithari, feeling the naturalism where the underpriviledged children undergo their elementary education, feeling disappointed after seeing the stagnant drainage systems and mosquito generating ponds, uncleansed classrooms/assembly ground/gardens, which the so called government ‘servants’ are not interested to clean upon.
I felt the helplessness of a child to express his right for sanitation, cleanliness and hygiene in the silent school. ‘How can a child study in such an environment’? I witnessed a lady village head’s urge for clean environment, however also understood the lack of cooperation of the government officials.
When I heard Vimlesh Aunty, requesting someone to clean the school, I stopped her and said ‘HelpingBrainz will clean this school for you’, I mentioned to her that, ‘it’s my wish to have my little siblings learn in a clean environment, though their teachers to be honest don’t want’.
- THE GAMES HERE!
I immediately telephoned, my friend Swati (VP, Environmental & Elderly Care Projects – HelpingBrainz.Org) – to design the programme, Abhinav Vikash (Abhinav works for HCLT Foundations, he’s one whose heart beats for the community equally) and Purnoor (Our designing spearhead) and we fixed the event (Cleanliness Drive) in 10 mins, and gave heartwarming confirmation to the village-head to support her in this mission to clean the school.
