There are many people who have plenty of time on their hands and want to help others but do not know what to do. Home makers whose children have grown up or are abroad, retired people who are healthy and active, students who want to do something useful during their vacations- there are so many people who can spare a few hours in a week to help others.
And there are so many who would gladly accept it. Old people need someone to talk to or listen, orphans want a loving cuddle, handicapped people would gratefully accept assistance, sad and depressed ones need cheering up- all this takes just a few hours and at one’s leisure. There are no hard and fast rules, there are no fixed timings, those who have time to spare can help those who need it.
Many Old Age homes have sprung up in cities. Senior citizens whose children are not with them or whose children have sent them there, long for someone to talk to. A couple of hours spent with them would bring cheer and joy in their lives.
