With inmates from other old age homes invited, the multi-purpose hall was bustling with joyful guests. Ms. Kulandai Theresa, one of the residents, warmly welcomed the chief guest, Mr. Kandasamy, the District Collector, and explained the mission of the Little Sisters of the Poor.

The elegant dance by the elderly ladies mesmerized the Collector, prompting him to promptly ask for a photo with them. Following this, students from a Medical College presented a cultural program.
