Diwali, the festival of lights, is a time to celebrate joy, togetherness, and the triumph of light over darkness. Yash Sewa Samiti celebrated Diwali in a truly heartwarming way—by bringing the festive spirit to an old-age home and sharing smiles with our beloved senior citizens. A Day to Remember The celebration began with the enthusiastic arrival of our NGO members and volunteers at the old-age home. The atmosphere was quickly transformed with vibrant decorations and, most importantly, twinkling lights and rows of diyas that filled every corner with warmth and radiance. As our team distributed new clothes and gifts, carefully chosen to bring joy and comfort. Seeing the smiles on their faces as they changed into festive attire was priceless. These gifts, while material in nature, carried a message: you are loved, valued, and not forgotten. Lighting Diyas, Lighting Hearts One of the most touching moments was when each senior citizen lit a diya. Their eyes sparkled in the soft glow, reflecting memories, hope, and the joy of being remembered. We shared a delicious Diwali feast, complete with traditional sweets and home-cooked delicacies. The air was filled with laughter and storytelling as the elderly shared their memories of Diwalis past. For many, it was their first Diwali celebration in years that felt like home. The Ripple Effect: Impact on the Community                                                      This celebration wasn’t just a one-day event; it created a ripple of positivity and awareness in the community: Bridging Generations: Young volunteers learned empathy and gained a deep respect for the elderly. Conversations between generations created emotional connections that went beyond age. Restoring Dignity: Many senior citizens in old-age homes feel isolated and forgotten. Our initiative reminded them—and society—that they are still an integral part of our community. Inspiring Others: Several residents and local citizens, upon witnessing the celebration, expressed interest in joining our future initiatives. At Yash Sewa Samiti, we believe that festivals are meant to be inclusive. Everyone deserves to feel celebrated, especially those who have spent their lives nurturing others. This Diwali, we didn’t just light diyas—we lit hearts, rekindled hope, and strengthened the bond of humanity. Let us all continue to be the light in someone else’s life—not just during Diwali, but every single day. 19 October, 2017
