Happy to invite a few seniors from an old age home. They took over the kitchen and prepared bimbli pickle following my recipe which I gifted to them Treated them to wine and lunch - time well spent I have suggested to them that they should use their talent and put it to good use. Now, they just while away their time there.

What a lovely idea. I'm sure they enjoyed being productive and busy for a change. But I guess it is their carers who need to find things that they are able to do.

This is just the beginning. I have suggested to these 3 ladies that they should engage themselves and invite others for some kind of activity may be even singing together. There is no common activity there.

I agree. There should be a combination of seniors who are able, and destitute folks and orphans who are unemployed. Together they should start services of supplying food at the doorsteps. When meals are prepared collectively, a lot of gas can be saved, and when they are supplied to some bachelors or elderly in the vicinity, some monies can also be earned.

Unless the set up where they stay allows this it cannot be implemented.

I have visited several old age homes and the way the public looks at them as those waiting to die I want to change all that.

That is really a nice thing you did, they also must have felt very happy for providing them some quality time with you! Nice that they have used your kitchen to prepare pickle...that must have left them with lot of happiness! Nice to know that they had lunch at your place and a good time! God bless dear @allknowing ! That was indeed a great thing you did!

Thanks. They were happy and I could see that - something totally different from their otherwise monotonous life.
