Shuvosangho members spend day with elderly residents in Bhola

Bashundhara Shuvosangho organised a daylong programme with elderly residents at Nizam-Hasina Old Age Home in Bhola on Thursday, creating moments of joy and companionship for the residents.

The programme included spending time with the elderly, exchanging greetings, listening to their stories and sharing memories.

Many residents have limited contact with their families and loved ones. For them, the presence of members of Bashundhara Shuvosangho brought a sense of companionship and warmth.

Members sat beside the elderly residents, held their hands and listened attentively to stories of their lives. The residents also shared memories of their past and responded to questions from the younger participants.

Resident Md Faruk said companionship was what they needed most.

“Having them spend time with us and talk to us is a great source of joy,” he said.

Shafayat Hossain, president of Bashundhara Shuvosangho Bhola district unit, said the programme was not merely an event but a small expression of responsibility, love and humanity.

“Those living in old age homes need more than food, clothing or essential items. They need someone to talk to, attention and moments when they can feel that they are not alone and that society has not forgotten them,” he said.

He said even a little time, sincerity and a smile could make someone’s day happier.

The elderly residents and Shuvosangho members also posed for photographs together, creating memorable moments that brought people of different generations together.
