Daily activities like Godly songs, sharing of experiences and citation etc. take place at the centre. Club has provided daily tiffin, health checkup facility in 6 months and going to build separate attached toilets for them. We visit regularly at the centre and take feedback from them and act accordingly. At the moment 50-60 elderly people are benefitted from the service. Indirect beneficiaries: Other family members are the indirect beneficiaries of the program. They can have their extra work done when these people are at centre.
