Little Sisters of the Poor in India
At the service of the elderly Poor
RITHIKA JIJI shares her experience during her internship at the Little Sisters of the Poor, Bangalore.
As a part of our curriculum, we were supposed to do community service for 25 hours. It was a really nice experience. The way the residents are treated are really good. I made me feel like a seeking a Big Family. I am so glad that, I got an opportunity to service the grandparents here. Whenever I am doing something, they will smile and say “ Thank You “, that made me feel so happy. I felt like the time just flies while I am here. The four hours will go so fast.
The sisters here made me so comfortable. Everyone here is working so hard and by just seeing them working. I get an inspiration to work more and do something for them. From this one month internship, I understood a lot of things. Like helping the needed makes us more human. It made me happy while serving them.Â
