14. Visit to Nirmal Hriday - "Giving" is "Receiving" too!

Yesterday - Sept 26th - a group of students from XLRI visited Missionaries of Charity - Nirmal Hriday... a home for those "left-behind" (by their families, society and history) children and the elderly.

They spent the afternoon with them - sang, danced, shared stories (and sweets and chocolates, which they had carried), played games - or just "be" with them... talked with them, listened to them...

Last year too - as a part of the Jamshedpur JoyFest: Joy of Giving Week Celebrations - some of the XLRI students had gone and visited them.... and one of them (who graduated earlier this year) had written a beatiful note after that, which is worth reading - actually, highly recommended!:
The Joy of Giving - what price happiness?

Just a few hours of "giving" time... and so many memories, smiles and blessings to remember/cherish/carry for a life-time - and the learning that when we "give", we also "receive"!
