CultureRoutine Celebrations Tours and TripsCommunication

Source of FundThe major source of fund for the organization is through donation. The organization also gets funds through membership fees

ObservationWe observe that many of the older people are those who have no one to look after to them. Some of them is having only girl child, some of them are not married, some are not having any child. Only few are those who have children then also have to come here because of family problems. The another observation is apart from being sad that they do not have any one to look after, they feel very comfortable in this old age home and get used to this routine life. They all are happily living with one another.

ConclusionOverall, It is a well-managed and free cultured NGO where everyone have their own personal life and own interest based activities. There is no restriction in the NGO. It works for the providing support and better living to the senior citizen of the society.
