Visit to Providence House

Humanity is something which cannot be found in books. It is meant to be experienced. The feeling and understanding of experiencing human to human connect cannot be compared to even the most beautiful descriptions. To strengthen this feeling and to sensitize today's youth,

Kerala is a land of paradoxes. A land mixed with ironies and beacons of hope at the same time. In the heart of a small town called Irinjalakuda, shines a beacon of hope for over half a century. It is a home for the old and destitute, where refuge is offered to anyone without asking for their caste, creed, race or religious affiliation. The priests and inmates of The House of Providence share a bond that proved for years that humanity and service to mankind are the essence of worship and devotion to God.

Inhabitants of Irinjalakuda have proved from time to time that service to humanity is beyond borders of religion and political differences and have contributed to the success of this venture. The stories of inmates of House of Providence is heart wrenching. Many of them are abandoned by thier children for whom they sacrificed the better part of their lives. And others are abandoned mercilessly once they were bankrupt or bedridden at the verge of their existence. The existence of such organizations raise a question about the morality of the present society as well as give us hope that all is not lost.

Final Year Studerts of B.Com, St. Joseph's College Irinjalakuda visited an old age home called Shanti Sadan at Irinjalakuda. The purpose of this visit was to inculcate in the students the values of empathy and compassion and develop an understanding of the shortcomings of the society we live in.

On 29 April 2022 a group of 28 students accompanied by two student Coordinators, Glaicy Sunny (llI Year, B.Com) and Irin Therese (III Year, B.Com) reached the Shanti Sadan, Old Age Home at 2:00 PM. The caretaker of the home informed that there were 18 inmates in the home and she explained in detail about the background, establishment and management of the old age home.. Students visited every member and had conversations with them. Students sang songs for entertaining them. Having a personal interaction with those aged members, talking to them and seeing the smile on their faces when they knew that someone visited them, was really a heart- warming experience. Both students and aged members sang songs and exchanged sweets. Students spent one and half hours there.
